The Lobby restaurant at Dan
Accadia serves kosher dairy food in an international atmosphere and magnificent
beach view. Recently, the hotel chef Golan Israeli introduced a new pizzas menu
with Mediterranean flavors.
We got to the Lobby Restaurant
at Dan Accadia to have a light dairy lunch and try the new pizzas. Although it
was quite rainy in the last days, the sun came out and we could enjoy the beautiful
ambience and sea view. The lobby was recently refurbished and has a contemporary
décor. While we sat outside, there’s also a nice garden here overlooking the pool
and the beach.

Starters
We started with soup and salad.
Onion Soup and Parmesan Crostini
A rich soup with mild sweetness
and a generous amount of onion.
Caprese Salad
A refreshing tasty salad containing
fresh red cherry tomatoes, dried tomatoes (they felt home-made), pine cones,
basil leaves, buffalo mozzarella chinks with pesto in balsamic vinegar. The salad (and the soup) were served with
fresh buns, butter, and a dip of olive oil with tomato salsa and roasted
garlic. This salad by itself with the bread can be a light meal!
Pizzas
The pizzas here are think
crusted and crunchy, just like in Italy. The dough is exactly the way I like it
– very professionally made! Golan Israeli, the executive chef at Dan Accadia
tells me they bought a special pizza oven for this! the pizza menu includes 7
chef pizza you can make your own pizza and select toppings. Among the pizza there are:
Four white pizzas: Zucchini Bianca – cream sauce, zucchini slices
and mozzarella; Pear & Roquefort Bianca – pears poached in
white wine, topped with shredded Roquefort, mozzarella, and green leaves; Salmon
Bianca – smoked salmon, crème freiche and red onion rings; and Four
Cheese Bianca – camembert, buche, ricotta, and mozzarella, with green
leaves.
Three Tomato pizzas: Tomato,
Chilli & Pineapple – tomato sauce, fresh chili rings, pineapple, and
mint leaves; Greek – tomato sauce, eggplant, onions, feta cheese,
anchovies, and oregano; and Mushroom & Chestnut – Portobello,
champignon and wild mushrooms, with tomato sauce, chestnuts and parmesan cheese
We picked two chef pizzas with
tomatoes – the Greek and the Mushroom & Chestnut.
Greek Pizza – tomato sauce, eggplant, onions, feta cheese, anchovies, and oregano;
We ordered this pizza with
only a small amount of anchovies (my partner doesn’t eat Anchovies and we
shared). It is an excellent pizza, although the anchovies are very salty and
made the rest of the flavors fade away. The eggplant was really good and not
greasy at all (which often a problem with eggplants) and fits well with the
thin slices of red onion and the cheeses.
Mushroom & Chestnut Pizza– Portobello, champignon and wild mushrooms, with tomato sauce, chestnuts and parmesan cheese
This is a wonderful pizza, many
types of mushrooms and the chestnuts are so good here!
Warm Plates
Gnocchi - chestnuts, mushrooms in cream sauce
Homemade balls of Gnocchi perfectly
made, in perfect texture in cream-chestnuts sauce to die for with thin slices
of mushrooms. This was so good! I enjoyed every bite!
Desserts and Drinks
Dan Accadia has a patisserie
team and the cakes in the display fridge were all tempting. We picked two light
cakes with fruit.
Fruit and Mascarpone Pie
Very nice pie, with fresh
strawberry and chocolate garnish with a sugar daisy. The base is rather thick
but light, feels like it contains nuts. It is not too sweet and got pockets of blueberries
inside. The mascarpone cream is light and tasty. Not much fruit to justify the
name, but we enjoyed it!
Pistachio Vanilla Mousse cake
I loved this cake. Not only that
it has really nice colors – it is full of surprises. It is wrapped by fluffy
pistachio dough, inside there is a thin crust with strawberry cream, fresh
strawberry and a lot of vanilla cream. When cut – the layers are exposed into a
fancy profile!
With lunch we had some good
Recanati wine (the pizza deal is served with wine or beer) and freshly squeezed
apple juice. We had good espresso and cappuccino with dessert.
Summary
A dairy meal at Dan Accadia’s
lobby restaurant is a good idea. It is tasty and kosher and the setting is
beautiful. The atmosphere is calm and the service is excellent!
