Manitoba Tigella Launch – Italian Passion in Fitzrovia

November 10, 2016 by Adrian Leave a Comment

Manitoba Tigella                  Fitzrovia

82 New Oxford Street, London, WC1A 1HB

020 7436 8231 / www.manitobatigella.com 

img_8631Manitoba Tigella (sounds like an R&B star) is a new opening on New Oxford Street  serving ‘authentic Italian cuisine with a focus on tigella, a surprisingly reasonably priced traditional disc shaped stuffed bread from Northern Italy.’ I’d never heard of the tigella either so was interested to be invited to the opening for a taste or two. Made with Manitoba flour from Canada the tigella originates from the chestnut forests of the Apennine mountains in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy.img_8635The Tigella has a similar texture to a buckwheat crepe but has a firmer shape. There are traditional dishes such as the Gnocco Fritto (tigella, fried gnocco with Parma ham D.O.P. – £1.50), Prosciutto + Stracchino (tigella, stracchino soft cheese and Parma ham – £2.20) and Tagliere Misto (mixed salami, parmigiano cheese, stracchino cheese, Italian olives, sundried tomatoes, tigelle and gnocco fritto – £10). For the more adventurous, the gourmet Tigella menu features such dishes as the Burger T (tigella with burger, confit tomatoes, cocktail sauce and provolone cheese – £2.90) and Pink Pistachio (tigella with mortadella foam and pistachio crumble – £3). The Veggie Burger (tigella with beans, red onion and embers onion sauce – £3) and the Aubergine Parmigiana (tigella with funghetto aubergine, parmigiano D.O.P. cheese, tomato sauce and basil pesto – £3) will tempt the most hardcore carnivore. img_8637The rest of the menu includes fresh pasta options include classics such as La Carbonara (spaghetti in carbonara sauce, pecorino romano cheese and crispy bacon – £9.50), and meat and fish courses including Lamb Cutlets (served with fried polenta and salmoriglio sauce – £18) and Fish Jar (a medley of sea bream, king prawns, squid, mussels, clams, olives, capers, datterini tomatoes served with focaccia – £9).img_8632For a lighter choice their are salads including the amazing sounding Minestrone Freddo (avocado, strawberries, mango, pineapple, mixed salad, olives, tomatoes, asparagus, carrots, cucumber, chives, eggs, anchovy, pecorino cheese and home-baked focaccia – £9.95). There are also light, fluffy focaccia served in a number of ways: Verdure (olive patè, roquette, mushroom, aubergine and broccoli -£4.50), Culatello e Burrata (Burrata cheese and culatello – £6.78) or Mortadella (Mortadella and sundried tomato – £4.80).img_8646The dessert menu includes a Panne Cotta e Fragole(strawberry coulis and lemon streusel – £4.95) and a Tiramisu (with coffee and dark chocolate – £4.80). For delicious fast food with a Tigella twist Manitoba Tigella is well worth a try. It’s a stylish space that is perfect for a quick drop in-the barman blends a mean cocktail too!
