Basil Bar: Pesto Barilla opens the first experiential bistro where basil meets art and chef Cogo creates two irresistible dishes
In Milan, in the heart of the Brera district, Barilla has opened the Basil Bar, the first experiential bistro entirely dedicated to the world of pesto. Hosted from June 5th to 15th inside the Casa degli Artisti, the project offers an immersive journey through taste.
Pesto & Contrasti: Barilla Emilian egg pasta risotto with Barilla Genovese Pesto, kiwi and caper powder
A creative take on risotto, made with Barilla grattoni cooked in ginger broth, tossed with butter, Parmesan cheese, and Genovese pesto. The dish is finished with a crispy kiwi paper and a sprinkling of caper powder.
The Way of Delight: Limoncello Delight with Basil Pesto and "Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP"
A lemon sponge cake hemisphere is dipped in a limoncello syrup, filled with a lemon pesto cream, and then glazed. A dusting of pesto powder completes the dish.
What to do at Basil Bar
The Basil Bar will be, above all, an invitation to take a break, to rediscover the pleasure of sharing, and to experience a moment of indulgence while being inspired by taste. It is open every day except Monday, from 12:00 to 23:00, and from Friday to Sunday from 10:30.
