DELUCCA food review , squid ink pasta !

I've been desperate searching for a fine restaurant to have serve "squid ink pasta" because i have this obsession with black things .




so finally , my dad took me to DELUCCA during mothers' day & his birthday (;






The restaurant was "jazz" theme  , every Friday & Saturday there will be jazz song played without any charge.
.
the menu were printed on old records and were presented with a record cover , It was written on Italian language with a translation of English below.

just by looking at its description , makes me drools , and of course i ordered ..

 "marae nera" 
"squid ink tagliatelle with mixed seafood in a vodka cream sauce "

and my mum ordered a "PINK pasta" . 
"Pasta rosa"
"pink tagliatelle tossed in porcini mushroom , fresh basil & mascarpone cheese in a PINK vodka sauce"

while waiting for our orders to come ,

we were given complimentary breads with 3types of dippings  .
BREAD


and soon , my marae nera were presented in front of me by a friendly waiter ,
It's BLACK in colour with White cream vodka sauce covered with mixed seafood on top.
the smell of seafood with a hint of saltiness really opens my appetite .

 the creamy vodka sauce lingers in my mouth with a hint of seafood sweetness ,
it makes you feel like you're in under in sea .
the tagliatelle is cooked beautifully , slippery and lightly .. it gives you a lighter taste of pasta.
it's like a work of an ART. i simply enjoy it to the maximum.

to make things more excited , the pasta here were made Fresh everyday .

.
.
 we ordered "zuppa di asparagi e pollo" which translated to ..
"clear chicken broth with asparagus , egg & Parmesan cheese"

but the waitress told us that it's un-available so we change to "zucchini e gorgonzola" because that's what she recommend.

it came to my table served with a few pieces of garlic bread , the soup was greenish colour.
Honestly , i was disappointed with it  , the soup was nor creamy nor clear.
so we asked for a exchange .

"cacciucco"
unique tuscany seafood soup"
it's a seafood stew on tomato base.
it taste heaven-like . the seafood & tomato really blended very well.

.

overall , FANTASTIC food ! :)
RATING - 4/5
DEFINITELY will go back to have more satisfying freshly made pasta (:

p/s : pictures are just for illustration purpose ONLY.
i did not snap any pictures because my phone was out of battery , it was all google-images.
the ACTUAL thing is ten times nicer & better than the pictures.




TO MAKE THINGS MORE EXCITED .
i went to  "JUST HEAVENLY" in BSC with joyful & excitment.. ready to statisfied my stomach with some deliciously rich cake BUT all sold out .
with dissapoinment , we drove all the way back to curve/ikano to hunt for Cakes for mothers' day & my dad's birthday.
BUT ,
in the end , all cakes are sold out . the place where they display Cakes.. was clean & empty.
