00:00It's all fresh, all homemade.
00:02The first step you take into the building,
00:03you just know straight away that you're in somewhere special.
00:05Okay, today I introduce to you my very popular dish on the menu.
00:10It's very popular and I have here seafood fettuccine.
00:15And it's a mix of seafood.
00:18It's clams, mussels, scallops, prawns, squid.
00:26And here we have a tortelli.
00:29Always I keep the tortelli in my menu.
00:32It's a very nice combination between burrata, ricotta and nduja.
00:38Plus with buttered sage, hazelnuts and balsamic vinegar.
00:43And then we've got the wines.
00:45We've got a materano, so it's from Lazio region.
00:47Both the wines, they are indigenous to that region.
00:51Materano is a really fresh, zippy, fragrant wine.
00:54It has a lot of these aromatic herbs to it, which goes really well with that kind of fresh seafood.
00:58And personally, I think it just goes fantastic with the sauce they have as well.
01:02And it's just something that you will not find anywhere else.
01:04We've imported it specially for us, so you will not find it anywhere in Glasgow.
01:08Most likely not in the United Kingdom either.
01:10So I think with that as well, it's such an interesting choice to have.
01:12And then along the right, you've got a more familiar grape, a Cabernet Sauvignon,
01:16which is that more full-bodied, that rich, a little bit more herbal, a little bit more balsamic to it.
01:21And it goes really well with the kind of ventusia, that slight bit of spice from the Tortelli.
01:25And again, you know, these are people who have been making wines for hundreds of years,
01:28but are just very well-known.
01:29And I think bringing them up to, you know, what we can show and how they can taste
01:33is a really great experience to have for customers and for me to sell.
01:37I'm in Banco di Roma. It's probably Italian food.
01:40This beautiful restaurant.
01:42And now I start to building the new menu.
01:45It's all, everything fresh, homemade pasta.
01:49And the thing I suggest Banco di Roma, because everything we do here,
01:54all the production from the past, everything is here.
01:58It's a big menu, but that is, I think, the difference,
02:02where the tasting, everything, it's because it's all fresh, all homemade.
02:07So I think when it comes into, the first step you take into the building,
02:11you just know straight away that you're in somewhere special.
02:13I think it's an iconic building. People know it from the outside.
02:15And I think everyone still gets wild when they come in through the inside.
02:18And I think for me personally, that reflects on the food and obviously on the wine.
02:22You know, it comes hand in hand.
02:24For us, you know, we obviously specialize in Italian wines.
02:27And maybe not just your basic ones that you know and have tried before,
02:30but the ones that are indigenous to different varieties, different regions.
02:34And I think something that is special.
02:36And I think, you know, the amount of effort we make on making our food taste great
02:40is what we should be chasing, choosing the right wines for the right food.
