Seven Easy, Piazza G. Motta 61, Ascona, 091 780 77 71
open every day, it's already going on in the morning at 9 clock with a wonderful breakfast
in Ticino spring has begun: the first camellia blossom types, you see even been one or the other magnolias bloom in sheltered spots, only my beloved mimosa need a few more days just like the forsythia.
We at noon today with Melanie and Andrew in Seven Easy had a date, had sunshine, sparkling wine - and pure - and our favorite table - mmmh, our's is sooo good!
The appetizer was gender-specific ordered: Crema di cipolle e aglio con Crostini al fegatino Tues volatile - onion-garlic cream soup with chicken liver crostini for men
Thus came the but not out of the kitchen - it is now known that Gerhard Peffer is a fan, and usually it's faster with the pepper mill when I was with the camera ;-)
And for the ladies Robiolino caldo con verdure alla Griglia e olive Taggiasche, Robiolinokäse warm with grilled vegetables and olives Taggiasca:
then had Gerhard and Melanie tagliolini alla chitarra al ragù di manzo e verdure, homemade tagliolini with ragout of beef and vegetables - photo, there is none, I was too busy with my pizza and wants to be eaten hot: Pizza Scoglio with clams, mussels, octopus, shrimp, prawns, tomatoes, garlic and chilli:
Andrea's Pizza did not look too bad: Pizza Carpaccio with beef carpaccio, arugula, parmesan shavings, truffle oil, tomatoes and mozzarella
is heroic, those who get after that one dessert:
Voilà, Ciocolatto - a warm chocolate cake with a melt-core
For Gerhard there was - how could it be otherwise - a homemade chocolate ice cream, which then receives on its very own chocolate-scale of 1 to 10, the Grade 7
For me, it was also the standard Dessert: Espresso corretto grappa - without photo ;-)
