POLLO ALLA CACCIATORE

Tonight at Fratini Seria, my wife and I had a deliciously satisfying serving of a dish called Pollo Alla Cacciatore that’s created by their new Executive Chef, Domenico Piras. The word cacciatore means “hunter,” and alla cacciatora means “hunter style.”  The ingredients are essentially items which an Italian hunter might come across in the woods such as onions, tomatoes, mushrooms etc and of course—chicken. But before that, an entree of their mushroom bruschetta (the tomatoes bruschetta remains my favourite) …

As captioned, the full name of this dish is Pollo Alla Cacciatore E Riso Alla Parmigiano but I’m told that instead of calling it Hunter Style Chicken with Risotto (Italian dish of rice) simply “Chicken Risotto” would suffice. As this dish is very new, you won’t find it listed on their regular menu. What I remember distinctly about it is how great the cheese and butter Risotto tasted along with their home made concoction of balsamic vinegar and secret recipe.

Photographically speaking, these set of pictures were shot on the EOS 5D MkII, EF24-70mm at ISO 1600 with colour correction (no noise filter applied). No flash was used and images shot entirely on available light (restaurant’s downlight). The absence of noise is simply brilliant—delicious Italian cuisine matched by delicious high ISO performance!
