Moscow, May 14, 2012 – A cozy summer terrace “Vicolo” of the Marriott Moscow Royal Aurora became one of the signs of summer in the historic part of Moscow, at the corner of fashionable Petrovka lane. An excellent place to wile away a short Moscow summer, the 80-seat Vicolo has opened its fourth season.
Framed with multiple flowerbeds and canopy-covered to protect from a sudden shower, Vicolo, which means ”Lane” in Italian, provides a fresh retreat on a hot summer day or a warm evening.
The menu of this season was again considerably reworked by Executive Chef Thomas Koessler and his team. The new menu guarantees that Vicolo is the right place for any type of the meal, - from a leisurely breakfast, a light lunch, a mid-day snack to a casual dinner.
A newcomer to the Starters is “Marinated Red Tuna” (1,050 RUB) with bell pepper, soy sprouts and ginger is a light and delicious option. “VIETNAMESE COLD SPRING ROLLS” (950 RUB) with duck confit, ma hor paste, cucumber, carrot and coriander wrapped in rice paper, with kafir lime sauce. is a nod towards the Asian cuisine.
