A True Italian Experience at UGO Ristorante Italiano

 

UGO Ristorante Italiano prides itself on delivering an authentic Italian dining experience. The menu features a curated selection of traditional Italian dishes, crafted with premium ingredients and a deep respect for culinary traditions. 

From handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas to fresh seafood, each dish embodies the rich and comforting essence of Italian cooking. The dessert offerings are equally impressive, providing a perfect conclusion to a memorable meal.

Must-Try Dishes at UGO Ristorante Italiano

 

Deciding what to order at UGO Ristorante Italiano can be challenging given the extensive menu, but certain dishes stand out. The Insalata Di Barbabietola Arrostita E Burrata is highly recommended. This salad combines the earthy flavours of roasted beetroot with the creamy texture of burrata, enhanced by a sweet balsamic honey dressing. For seafood enthusiasts, the Vongole Al Guazzetto is a must-try. Tender clams are cooked to perfection in a flavorful broth infused with garlic, butter, and a hint of chilli served alongside toasted bread to soak up every delicious drop.

 

 

When it comes to pasta, while the Spaghetti Carbonara is a classic favourite, the Penne Al Pesto E Salmone truly showcases UGO Ristorante Italiano’s culinary prowess. The penne is cooked al dente and coated in a creamy pesto sauce, complemented by rich salmon pieces. Pizza lovers should not miss the Margherita, which highlights the chef’s expertise with its simple yet exquisite combination of ingredients. The signature UGO Pizza offers a hearty mix of Parma ham, spicy salami, sausage, and melted mozzarella, creating a memorable flavour profile.

 

 

For the main course, the Filetto Di Manzo is a standout dish. This Argentine beef fillet is exceptionally tender and served with a vibrant assortment of baby carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, baked garlic, and roasted plum tomatoes, all brought together with a rich red wine gravy. Additionally, the restaurant offers a variety of hamburgers, including the UGO Burger, available in beef or pork. Topped with American cheese, pickled red onions, pickles, fresh tomato slices, and crisp lettuce, all drizzled with the special UGO sauce and nestled in a soft brioche bun, it’s a satisfying choice for burger aficionados.

To end your meal on a sweet note, the molten chocolate lava cake is irresistible. Cutting into the cake releases warm chocolate, beautifully contrasted with creamy vanilla ice cream, creating a delightful dessert experience.

Perfect Pairings: Wines and Cocktails

 

UGO Ristorante Italiano offers a refined selection of beverages to complement its culinary offerings. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, featuring a range of options that enhance the flavours of each dish. The cocktail menu is equally impressive, with standout creations like the 168 Signature Cocktail. This drink, with its deep amber hue and velvety foam, delivers a smooth and creamy taste that perfectly balances the rich flavours of UGO’s dishes.
