Could a chef like Anthony Genovese long stay with your hands? Certainly not, so much so that it is precisely during the period of forced closure of his restaurant that, together with his right arm Matteo Zappile, Genovese gave birth to the idea of ​​giving birth to his pop line. Is called turne, with a tribute to Salvatores' film, which is the classic travel story, which came back to the chef when he thought about his experiences around the world.
Calabrese of origin, raised in France and settled in Rome after experiences in the East, Genovese is the classic citizen of the world, who in his kitchen loves to take the diner by the hand and take him away with his dishes. This is how, in Turnè's experience, he mainly recalls the years between India and Japan, with a perfect balance between local ingredients and distant flavors.

Turnè's menu for now is only in delivery and take away mode (you can book by calling directly at the restaurant or on Cosaporto), but with a promise that Genovese has made to himself and his many admirers: it will soon become the project of a new local, the pop address that Genovese has promised to build for some time.

#Oggidelivery: paddy rice with seafood (and other Turnè dishes)

The dish completely looks like a Japanese or Chinese dish, but what destabilizes is the presence of paddy rice instead of the classic oriental rice. Exactly, it is the children's pasta, cooked however as if it were an Asian dish, certainly with a wok, with a clear flavor given by the use of soy sauce and a nice bouquet of spices in the background that does not disturb at all. The seafood is instead treated with the same delicacy with which a classic Italian seafood pasta is made. In short, this is a dish that can be defined one hundred percent fusion. Among the other proposals tasted in the same delivery, the ravioli that in the realization have a very clear Chinese inspiration, the amazing crab and pork meatballs, the squid from impeccable cooking, served on a bed of couscous, which makes it almost a single dish. We have freely chosen from the menu, but you can also order one of the five menus that recall in the name and tastes five Asian cities (Saigon, Kyoto, Bangkok, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur) and ranging from 60 to 30 euros.

On the same occasion we also tasted the croissants that Turnè signed in cobranding with the Casa Manfredi patisserie: the patisserie made the four yeasts of the box and Anthony Genovese thought the fillings, from pastrami to duck, from Nicoise to tuna. It was an experience limited to the Saturday when we called Turnè for delivery, in the hope that it will happen again soon.
