Led by the renowned Pugliese chef Leonardo Fumarola, L’adesso is one of the greatest references of Italian cuisine in the country. Here, the pasta is made with Italian durum grain semolina and is kneaded every day, based on classic recipes that are adapted to the “now” palate. The menu offers eight options and, among the most requested, we find the typical Cacio e Pepe, a fresh, long and thick pasta, buttered in sight in a large mold of Italian cheese with lots of pepper; lasagna with bolognese and gratin white sauce; and cavatelli con brasciole, which are meat and cheese rolls with Italian tomato sauce. The restaurant has existed for 13 years, with a comfortable lounge (which was recently renovated) and a picturesque garden surrounded by greenery, heated during the winter season.
