Seductive restaurant with dimmed lighting and elegant clientele. We arrived at around 8pm and decided to order from the tasting menu.You get to choose seven dishes and two desserts at a price of 128 shekels per person.
Our favorites were the Scallops on Black Rissoto and Crab Sauce- the scallops were soft and tender little balls of pure pleasure in our mouths, the Tartar- (drum fish) was fresh and gingery, over the black tobico, gave us bursts of oral orgasms one after the other.The Ravioli with Foie Gras and glazed rum was tres scrumptious. The Velvety Artichoke Soup- was creamy and caressed our tongues gently.
For dessert we ordered the Nemesis- tonka beans, nemesis with caramelized sea salt, burnt marshmallows, coco beans, crumble and vanilla ice cream, was so delicious it was beddable!. The Mascarpone Cream and Red Berries- Vanilla Mascarpone cream, with almond crumble, meringue kisses and red berries confiture - when the mascarpone reaches your tongue you feel like you are sitting on a cloud surrounded by angels that kiss you and make your heart bleed jelly.
The bartender spoiled us with delicious cocktails called ElderFlower Collins- just a sip makes you feel tipsy, vaben style (oxazepam) if you know what we mean ;)- while it was raining outside, we were sipping our ElderFlower Collins and we felt we were on a beach in Saint Tropez with great chill out music and comfortable ambience.
Aria is a great place to go on dates, celebrate an occassion or just go for an upscale delectable meal in the heart of one of the sexiest cities on the planet - TEL AVIV.
Be sure to ask for the darling waitress Mika ;)
CHEF GUY GAMZO
Chef of Aria Restaurant
1. What is you favorite dish on the menu? My favorite dish on the menu is the Spicy Calamari Salad, I love the combination of the fresh Calamari, with yougurt and mint together with spicy chillies.
2. What inspired you to become a chef? I was always drawn to the kitchen. As a child I used to watch my mother cook and always helped her, asked her questions and was fascinated by food.
3.What would you cook to impress a girl? Luckily I do not need to impress girls anymore but what I made to win my wife over was Coquilles Saint Jacques on white almond cream and Blue-crab bisque. I made it for her a few years back and we always said that when I have my own restaurant it will have to be on the menu.
