Avanti - Kassel

When I'm on my way, I try to avoid MCD, KFC, BK and other almost food if possible and really take some time for lunch. This doesn’t always work – but in the Dec in Kassel I have the Avanti for a few years as a fixed starting point. On 09.02.2015, I was back in the KS region and thus fits into a lunch break. Positive surprise: a new look, the dark decor has moved to a modern bright quench after the relaunch of 26.08.2014. A new opening with the familiar faces. This is a top class/gourmet Italian, is self-explanatory due to the situation in an EKZ – but I have not been disappointed with food until then. The quantities of Italians (the Corallo-Eiscafés) were remarkable, even in the Dec, which served in four teams for lunch. In addition to the food a la Carte there are days or weekly recommendations on boards. “Request” is also possible: whole, half, quarterly pizzas or filled calzone (fried, next to Panini or from the map. The pizza pieces are also served at the tables, partly also as a mini lunch menu with salad ambience: simple, there are only menus on the tables – but fits the guests without a doubt. 2 tables can also sit on the counter on request. Service: friendly reception – even after more than 6 months, with recognition from the male. Service strength and boss. A few words changed with the boss and recognized me about the new design. I asked the waiter to keep a table free because I wanted to visit certain places (belong to the dez, the gastronomy has no one. This is absolutely necessary for the lunch time, because it is quickly very crowded, about 12:30 and 13:30 is hardly a place to get. In short, I could “at my table place”. A look into the map, in the meantime my drink request was accepted (0.5 l S. Pellegrino f. 3.70 €). I quickly got fresh rolls (from pizza dough, nice crunchy, but not too dark, hot and slightly salted. Salt and pepper mill and balsamico olive oil were then added with cutlery. It must be acknowledged that all tables are served by a service, as his colleague only serves the counter and the boss partly helps in the kitchen. But until then there was never a memory of mine. Only sometimes a little more patience. As an appetizer I decided to garnish with a Carpaccio by Red Bete, with truffled pesto and planned parmesan, with large-leaved parsley. This took about 10 15 minutes because it was quite full and the kitchen team (2 pers. everything freshly prepared. A real taste festival: fine truffle aromas, along with the freshness of red beds, the slightly savory taste of Parmesan, on a hint of olive oil. A little salt and pepper over it – that was very delicious. (7,90 € The main dish was a day recommendation: Rigatoni (the card is all pasta varieties produced with Salsiccia (also homemade and tomato sauce (10,90€). After another quarter of an hour. The noodles were all al dente, different lengths and not like “red” – a hint that they are made themselves? I'm not an absolute pasta expert. The salsiccia was fresh, seasoned with coarse texture with fennel seeds, salt and pepper – so it should be. Some fresh garlic (I had no further appointment!!! , parsley, plus small rings of a mild peperoni, the whole with tomato sauce (Polpa i.e. canned – but of very good quality, some peffer, only unfortunately a trace too much oil (or fat discharged from the Salsiccia? – perhaps this has just brought the taste: spicy, sweet fruity, fennel, garlic, very slightly piquant – also a feast for the taste buds. After that, an espresso (Lucaffé – one of the really better varieties – Illy, Lavazza, Segafredo have a name for good marketing – but not much more than the... Conclusion: €25.00 for a delicious lunch meal – in addition, the kitchen has increased slightly compared to the last time. I'm always worth a stop.
