Gloriosa

Description

Summary: A taste of sunny Med in a cozy spot.

Gloriosa is a beacon of Mediterranean flair in the heart of the city, serving up dishes that are as light and fresh as a seaside breeze. With a terrace that feels like a slice of the sunny coast, this restaurant turns local ingredients into culinary poetry. The menu is a testament to the power of simple preparations, with each dish boasting an understated complexity that lingers on the palate. From the garden-crisp radish salad to the delicate poached chicken, there's an ethereal quality to the flavors that's hard to find elsewhere. The larger plates transport diners straight to the southern shores of the Mediterranean, with charred baby lamb chops and spiced aubergine evoking the warmth of the region. Seafood lovers will revel in the grilled mackerel with its Moorish-inspired ajo blanco, and pasta aficionados can indulge in hand-made tagliatelle adorned with artichoke ragù and pecorino. To complement the vibrant dishes, Gloriosa's wine list is an ode to natural wines, carefully selected from boutique wineries, and their cocktail offerings maintain a European aperitivo spirit. With service as warm as the ambiance, and a diverse mix of guests, Gloriosa provides a relaxed yet refined dining experience that captures the essence of Mediterranean dining without leaving the city.
