This was weird but hey, why not give it a try. A generous piece of colder foie gras with a cotton candy wrapped around. They say this is a one bite, but for me one’s just too rich, taking one bite, cleansing it with some water and resuming was good enough. The flavors were great, who would’ve thought the sweetness of the cotton candy would pair well, but then again the way foie gras melts in your mouth matches with the way the cotton candy dissolves.

Braised Wagyu beef cheeks clementines

The beef was so succulent and braised to perfect, extremely tender that you could just cut the beef with your fork. This has a bit more of a saltier flavor to it so with the sweet tangy flavor of the clementines with the wagyu beef, it was a match-made in heaven.

JAMONES Y EMBUTIDOS

Catalan style toasted bread with perfectly diced tomatoes, I was able to view how this dish was being prepared and they’re extremely pick with how they prepare the tomatoes, a delicate touch only to it. Served with your choice of ham(prosciutto) we opted for the Jamón Ibérico de bellota Fermin. Honestly, the bread and tomatoes were so perfect that I just opted without the ham, which made my bf happy, more meat for him.

Philly Cheesesteak

They explain this as an air bread, just imagine an extremely thin and delicate puff pastry hollowed out in the center, filled with a cheddar foam inside, and topped with thin slices of wagyu beef. I honestly could’ve gone for several orders of this. A deconstructed philly cheesesteak of perfection.

Tortilla de patatas

Potato foam, egg 63, caramelized onions, this dish was just extremely weird, gooey, rich, but absolutely delicious and worth giving a try, I love eggs and it was just really cool to pair this up a new way with foam.

Croquetas de pollo

Chicken and béchamel fritters, this was delicious, I could imagine a deep fried chicken pot pie. If you love rich food, and anything deep fried then this is your dish.

Chocolate au Pain & Passion Fruit Marshmallow

I was disappointed with the chocolate au pain, it tasted a bit dry to me and not as rich as I expected the croissant to be. The passion fruit marshmallow was fun and delicious, I loved how the flavor was infused, it was a delicate fluffy.

Apples Carlota

This bread pudding was very good, it was like a creme brulee topping with that burnt sugar. Along with a saffron sauce and a milky ice cream, the apples were personally a bit too tart for me in this dish, but I couldn’t stop devouring the ice cream, it was rich, but tart, and combination was just perfect, if I could just buy several pints of this and rush it home to my freezer I would.

Traditional Spanish Flan

With a vanilla whipped cream and rich caramel sauce, the flan came out perfect. Sometimes the most simple things are the best. The flavor of a spanish flan is more rich and condensed but not heavy. I could’ve ate several orders of this, but then again with my sweets tooth I could give them plenty of business just on there desserts alone. My bf and I pretty much fought over this dish since my bread pudding was overpowered by the apples.

Overall experience here was great, I would definitely return here once again when I have the chance to which will probably be coming up soon since my bf and I have been dying to have another meal here. I hope you guys enjoy and take this restaurant into consideration and give it a try. Also I will be posting up recipes coming in the soon near future. Apologies for delay posts, my life as a bio-chem major is killing me !

Started off with there Special of the night.

Fresh Burrata Cheese with Heirloom Tomatoes & Mixed Greens

This dish was done perfect, the burrata cheese was so fresh and you could tell by how soft, warm, & delicate the texture was. I was impressed by how smooth the burrata was as well. Heirloom tomatoes hidden underneath the cheese, I was a little saddened by how small the slices were but it’s okay, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, salt, & pepper. Slithers of basil complimented the dish, all of the flavors paired very well together.

*Special of the Night*

Spinach Gnocchi with bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, & ricotta in a red sauce.

I can’t express to you how well this dish was done. My bf happened to order this as I literally took the plate from him & switched it with my dish. Gnocchi is very hard to make and can be overly done to give you a very starchy consistency. The gnocchi here at Color was light and delicate, as the bacon gave it that salty bite with an earthy flare from the mushrooms. I’m glad the onion gave it some texture as the tomatoes happened to be roasted to perfection. Finished with melted ricotta on top just made my mouth melt. I hope if you give Colori a chance that they have this item on there menu because it was to die for !

Spaghetti Carbonara, al dente spaghetti with a rich carbonara sauce and best of all, bacon everywhere ! This dish is great, but I think it was more of a dish my bf’s would order, and for dinner, we happened to switch plates for the first time ever rather than sharing and eating off one anothers plate. I know carbonara is a very rich sauce since it’s main ingredient happens to be butter, cream, & egg yolks. Done very well with perfectly cooked pasta.

Italian Style Cheesecake

Our waiter asked us once we finished up our dinner if we’d ever tried there cheesecake, I actually responded with no since I’m not really a fan of it, besides cheesecake factory’s vanilla bean, BUT I have to stick it in the freezer for a bit cause once it’s frozen, it taste just like a smooth, rich, & creamy ice cream ! Okay but back to Colori kitchen’s cheesecake, he told us that this was there special cheesecake that everyone infamously loves so my bf and I decided to give it a try although I was in a creme brulee mood. Baked with ricotta the cheesecake was quite delicious, although for me it started to become very rich afterwards, topped with powdered sugar, drizzled with raspberry and an anglaise I believe. Without your typical graham cracker crust it reminder me of a baked pound cake on the outside texture. Personally for me I think this dish would be perfect with that a little refreshment factor, it was just missing something.

Overall experience was great, the restaurant lived up to it’s hype and my tummy was expanded to the point where I was glad I decided to wear some leggings that night. The restaurant because extremely busy and lines were just out the door and I completely understand why not. Authentic Italian food at it’s best, unfortunately I do think they need some more staff since at times they were a little behind, but all the workers besides bus boys seemed to speak the language so I guess they just need that perfect person with a touch. Will be back here sometime to give furthermore reviews, I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter !
