RESTAURANT REVIEW

If we were filmmakers looking for someone to play a chef who serves his customers a large platter of pasta and then belts out a few choruses of a classic Neapolitan song, we might consider Gennaro Esposito. Actually a quite subtle cook, Esposito is a fanatic for sourcing high-quality products, and you might find him strolling around the dining room with a braid of buffalo mozzarella weighing between 3 and 4 kilos. He will cut you a slice and drizzle a bit of spicy olive oil from Sorrento on top of it – a culinary experience as intense as it is simplistic. And you can’t mention Esposito’s restaurant without paying homage to its signature dish: a delicate fish soup thickened by ten different types of Gragnano pasta cooked in the broth; one reviewer describes it as “something that every gourmand should experience at least once.”
