Experience Innovative Italian Cuisine with Il Pane e’ Oro at Yas Plaza Hotels.
Yas Plaza Hotels is excited to introduce an innovative culinary project at its renowned Italian restaurant, Filini Garden. The new initiative, Il Pane e’ Oro, led by the talented Chef Marco Gattone, transforms leftover bread into delicious, hand-crafted pasta dishes. This initiative underscores the hotel’s commitment to sustainability and reducing food waste.
In the kitchens of Yas Plaza Hotels, surplus bread from buffets and banquets is often discarded. However, Chef Marco Gattone has ingeniously found a way to give this bread a second life by transforming it into delectable pasta.
The process begins with the careful selection of the bread, which is sliced and soaked in water. Once soaked, the bread is squeezed to remove excess moisture before flour is added to create the base for the pasta dough. Chef Marco meticulously crafts the dough by hand, ensuring each batch meets his impeccable standards of quality and taste.
Diners can enjoy these innovative dishes at Filini Garden from Saturday to Thursday, starting at 6 PM. The menu features a variety of pasta options, each with a story that adds depth to the dining experience:
" target="_blank">- Puttanesca Pasta: A robust blend of tomatoes, anchovies, black olives, capers, garlic, and parsley | AED 75
- Amatriciana Pasta: A savory mix of beef pancetta, tomato sauce, pecorino cheese, and white wine | AED 85
- Marinara Pasta: A classic combination of tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, and basil | AED 65
- Homemade Bread Gnocchi: Made with bread and zucchini, featuring zucchini cream, fried zucchini, Grana Padano, parsley, and basil | AED 80
Additionally, guests can indulge in Homemade Bread Gnocchi with zucchini and basil, prepared in two delightful consistencies: creamy and fried.
To complement Chef Marco’s creations, Filini Garden offers a selection of sustainable beverages. The bar team has creatively repurposed kitchen surplus into cocktail ingredients, resulting in a unique lineup of drinks:
- Bitter Bourbon Tepache
- Coffee Negroni Cocktail
- Strawberry Jam Bellini
These cocktails are crafted from upcycled in-house ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, jams, purees, syrups, dehydrated herbs, and peels, showcasing an impressive commitment to reducing waste.
“We are thrilled to launch Il Pane e’ Oro at Filini Garden,” said Chef Marco Gattone. “This project allows us to turn potential waste into gourmet creations, offering our guests something truly special while contributing to a more sustainable future.”
Yas Plaza Hotels invites guests to join them in this journey towards sustainability. By choosing to dine at Filini Garden, guests are not only treating themselves to exceptional Italian cuisine but also supporting an innovative approach to reducing food waste.
