Description
Description
Given its consistently well-prepared cuisine
and overall class, this uptown restaurant -- which has been going
strong for around 4 decades -- mysteriously tends to fall under the
radar. Not that this in any way worries the management, who are
busy catering to regulars and visiting sports stars. The name,
incidentally, alludes to the glamoor associated with the
famous Roman boulevard in the mid-1960s (Fellini's notorious Dolce
Vita era) and has nothing to do with the style of food, which has
its roots firmly in Catalonia. It has a reputation for serving the
finest caza (game) and fungi around. You might order a silky
plate of rovellons and ceps, both wild mushrooms from
the Catalan forests, cooked to perfection in olive oil and rock
salt. There's also filet of hare stuffed with foie and served on a
bed of baked apples, or Via Veneto's signature duck dish -- a whole
baby duck is slow roasted, brought to the table, and deboned. The
bones are then put through an antique silver press, extracting the
flavorsome juice, which accompanies the flesh in a culinary
ceremony that seems to belong to another era. The wine list is
legendary (and the size of an encyclopedia) so ask José, the
amiable sommelier, to recommend one of their coveted Vega Sicilias
(if money is no object!) or another of the 10,000 or so bottles
they have in their underground bodega. Meals may be finished with a
cheese platter or heady dessert combinations such as chocolate
mouse spiced with mixed peppers and cinnamon ice cream.
