A Culinary Journey Through Italy at Hotel Indigo Shibuya
Introduction
Hotel Indigo Shibuya, a lifestyle boutique hotel that embodies the vibrant culture of Shibuya, is set to host a unique gastronomic event. From September to November 2025, guests can enjoy a special dinner course that transports them through the flavors of Italy, featuring cuisine inspired by the regions of Rome, Florence, and Piedmont. Chef Davide Di Dio will lead this culinary journey, creating an exquisite dining experience at the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Gallery 11.
Three Months of Italian Delights
Each month will showcase a specific region of Italy, allowing diners to explore distinct flavors and dishes. September will focus on Rome, October will feature Florence, and November will highlight Piedmont.
September: Roman Elegance (ROMA BUONA CUCINA)
The journey begins with Roman cuisine in September. The highlight is the homemade tonnarelli, a traditional Roman pasta that pairs perfectly with a rich carbonara sauce. Made using only the yolks of organic eggs, this dish offers a luxurious depth of flavor. The chef uses a unique technique to incorporate egg whites into the sauce, creating a creamy texture that complements the tonnarelli beautifully.
For the main dish, prepared from seasonal ingredients, guests will savor roasted wild boar from Hokkaido, accompanied by semolina gnocchi. This dish captures the essence of autumn's harvest, showcasing the chef's creative flair.
October: Florentine Passion (FIRENZE AMORE MIO)
In October, the focus shifts to Florence. Guests will indulge in a dish featuring homemade pappardelle pasta adorned with beautiful flower designs, paired with a flavorful duck ragù. This local Tuscan dish resonantly embraces the richness of the sauce and is perfectly complemented by Chianti Classico wine. For a delightful starter, diners can enjoy a savory salad featuring porcini mushrooms, walnuts, and pecorino cheese, celebrating the essence of fall flavors.
November: Flavorful Piedmont (VINO & AMORE)
The culinary adventure concludes in November with a focus on Piedmont. The meal features handmade agnolotti filled with robust flavors that perfectly meld with a deep sauce. The main attraction here will be roasted venison, enhanced with a tangy sauce made from chestnuts and red berries, bringing a colorful finish to the autumn festivities.
