Italian-fusion cooking: what it is and what to order at a rooftop

“Fusion” is a word that covers a lot. In Italian-fusion cooking it does not mean mixing without criteria: it means starting from Italian techniques and dishes and letting them cross with the grill and with Peruvian cooking. This is how it looks on the menu of a Medellín rooftop.

The Italian base

What does not change are the underlying preparations: pasta, risotto, lasagna, pizza and a classic tiramisu. A few examples from the menu:

• Fettuccini di Mare: pasta in white sauce with shrimp, squid and mussels, sautéed in white wine with a touch of cilantro.
• Risotto di Lomo: creamy three-cheese risotto with grilled beef tenderloin medallions.
• Lasagna: baked layers of pasta with meat ragù and pomodoro sauce, gratinéed with mozzarella.
• Italian tiramisu: sponge soaked in coffee and amaretto, mascarpone cream and cocoa.

The grill and Peruvian cooking

The fusion shows up in the crossovers. From the grill come the Argentine Steak, with chimichurri, the flame-seared salmon of the Risotto di Salmone and the tenderloin medallions of the Risotto di Lomo. From Peruvian cooking, the Arroz Chaufa, wok-tossed and served with leche de tigre. They are not Italian; they are part of why the menu is not only pasta.

Where to start

• To share on arrival: Beef Carpaccio, the Bruschetta Selection or the Aged Cheese & Charcuterie Board.
• An Italian main if you want the classics: one of the fettuccini, a risotto or the lasagna.
• A grill or Peruvian dish if you want to step away from pasta: the Argentine Steak or the Arroz Chaufa.
• The tiramisu to finish, and a cocktail from the list if the plan is to stay for sunset.

What to drink

The drinks menu combines cocktail classics — Aperol Spritz, Mojito, Moscow Mule, Margarita, Martini, Paloma — with natural lemonades (coconut, lychee, mint, cherry) for anyone who prefers something non-alcoholic. An Aperol Spritz is a good companion for sunset.
