Di Rosa is the Italian restaurant at the Hyatt Zilara and Ziva Rose Hall in Montego Bay Jamaica. The dishes didn't disappoint.
Started with beef carpaccio.
We were asked how we wanted the beef prepared. I have never been asked that before for a carpaccio since it is always raw/rare beef. But maybe they have some guests who wanted it cooked more. In any case, we ordered it rare and it came out as ordered. Thin medallions which melted in your mouth. Topped with some callaloo for crunch and a mustard vinaigrette. The vinaigrette was tasty but there was simply too much of it.
Next was a mini pizza. They have many types to choose from and I loved that you could get a small four inch pizza or a larger twelve inch. We went with the smaller four inch (probably closer to six) of the mushroom pizza.
Thin crust with slightly sweet sauce and savory mushrooms. Plenty of cheese also.
Next was lasagna.
Under all that creamy sauce were delicate layers of pasta, cheese and ground beef. Some flash fried basil on top for crunch and extra flavor. Some of the best lasagna I have ever had.
Also tried the shrimp Alfredo with fettuccine.
Well cooked shrimp in a delicate velvety sauce.
And also tried the truffle campanelle
I was a bit nervous about ordering this one since sometimes a restaurant will use truffle oil which can be overly perfumed. Not in this case. There was a great earthy flavor from the truffle which went well with the Alfredo.
Finished off the night with some olive oil cake.
This was like a moist pound cake. Full of vanilla flavor. The slightly sour passion fruit sauce on the plate helped balance the sweetness.
