Flying
Elephant
recently
had
their
Italian
festival
with
the
chef
who
flew
all
the
way
from
Naples,
Italy
to
show
Chennai
what
Italy
really
tastes
like!
Ambience
and
service
The
restaurant
is
located
at
the
first
floor
of
the
hotel
and
has
complex
dishes
curated
by
the
Chefs.
We
have
people
giving
us
the
royal
treatment
and
making
sure
we’re
comfortable
at
all
times.
Starters
1.
Pappa
la
pomodoro,
mozzarelline
fritte
e
maionese
al
basilico—Crumb
fried
mozzarella
balls
served
with
tomato
compote
and
basil
mayonnaise.
The
mozzarella
balls
were
crispy
on
the
outside
with
soft
cheese
on
the
inside.
The
dish
doesn’t
have
a
flavour
of
its
own
and
acquires
the
taste
from
the
cheese
and
the
flavours
from
the
sweet
and
spicy
tomato
sauce
and
the
sharp
taste
from
creamy
basil
mayonnaise.
2.
Carpasio
d’anatra
affumicata
rape
misticanza
arance
e
polvere
piccante—Smoked
duck
is
sliced
and
served
on
top
of
fried
bread.
The
dish
is
beautiful
plated
with
orange
and
beetroot
compote.
The
art
on
a
plate
tastes
so
good
when
you
eat
all
the
elements
from
your
in
a
single
bite!
Pizza
Zuccotta—Thin
crust
pizza
topped
with
pizza
sauce,

first
time
I’m
tasting

and
goat
cheese
on
my
pizza.
Pasta
🍝

Beautifully
blended
flavours

con
coponata—Red
pepper
stuffed
with
vegetables

Sweet

go
well
with
the
herbed
vegetables.
The
dish
is
plated
with
croutons.

alla

are
whisked
together
to
make

bitter
chocolate
cake.
The
cake
is
served
with
limoncello
whipped
with
fresh
cream.
Overall
it
was
one
of
the
most
beautiful

have
had.
