Cozze - by Executive Chef Gero DiMaria at Ricciotti, The Star Vista

For the benefit of my readers who are not familiar with Italian Cuisine, Cozze means "mussels" in Italian, whilst Cozza means "mussel" (singular) 

Ricciotti serves Cozze in three different flavours:

  1. Marinara - tomato sauce 
  2. Bianco - white wine sauce
  3. Rosa - tomato & cream sauce 

Chef Gero pointed out that the Cozze (mussels) is 
sourced usually from Belgium. The Cozze in white wine sauce is served in a ceramic pot to ensure the mussels retain their warmth. 

Check out the succulent mussels that are juicy and chewy to the bite, and melts in your mouth. The white wine sauce really brings out the freshness of the mussels, and lends it a savoury fragrant sweet taste, that leeks of freshness from the sea. 

Chef Gero uses a dash of fresh parsley to add a refreshing flavour to the mussels. 


The garlic bread dipped into the white wine sauce absorbs all of the rich savoury flavour of the white wine.
