A cute little place on Yongfu Lu with delicious, delicious pasta.
Sausage (118 RMB), a tomato sauce based pizza with Mozzarella cheese, homemade sausage, mushrooms, spring onions, truffle oil. Nene’s thin, crisp pizza base is very different from the thicker and softer Neapolitan style base I usually like, but I don’t mind the change once in a while.
Margherita (98 RMB).
Caserecce, sausage, porcini sauce and truffle cream (148 RMB) – this one I loved. Casarecce is a traditional scroll pasta from Southern Italy with an S-shape designed to hold on to as much sauce as possible, and it worked wonders with the porcini sauce and truffle cream in this dish.
Raspberry Mille Foglie (42 RMB), the Italian version of mille feuille, is a beautiful tower of thin pastries, custard cream, fresh fruits and dusted with powdered sugar.
Nene is pricier than expected, but I’ll come back perhaps for lunch (98~138 RMB) to try out some of their other dishes, especially after hearing wonderful wonderful things about their gnocchi…
The pizza in Time out magazine picture is “Arrabiata”, with buffalo mozzarella 128rmb, that one in your picture is simple margherita, with normal mozzarella, 98rmb. Thanks for the nice pictures.
thanks for the note! will make the change accordingly.
