#1. District 1, Ben Thanh Market Nossa Steak House & Italian Cuisine Review
Italian restaurant Nossa Steak House & Italian Cuisine is located in an alley between Ben Thanh Market and New World Saigon Hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Opened in 2014, it is now 10 years old, and although the prices are a bit on the high side, can enjoy high-quality Italian cuisine in a quiet restaurant with a small but luxurious atmosphere.
For a restaurant that's over 10 years old, it's clean without feeling old, and the props and paintings are appropriately placed throughout to create a luxurious atmosphere without being boring.
The indoor table atmosphere is nice, but in the evening when the weather gets cool and the sun has set, it is also nice to sit at a table on the second floor balcony and eat while looking out at the night view of Ho Chi Minh City.
Since I was at an Italian restaurant, I ordered a red wine, Ad Astra Sangiovese Rubicone, to drink with the food. It was an inexpensive Italian wine, lacking in depth of aroma and flavor, but it was easy to drink without feeling burdened.
As an appetizer, they served a small loaf of bread with tomato sauce. It was quite tasty, served with warm, toasted bread and a refreshing tomato-based sauce with a hint of truffle oil and spiciness.
The starter I chose as the first course of the meal was Pan-seared 3 US Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. It consisted of three thick scallops wrapped in bacon, pan-seared, and a lettuce salad with balsamic dressing. It was quite enjoyable.
The second course of the meal was the Ribeye MS2+ (250g) with two sides Sauteed Asparagus with Garlic and Mashed Potatoes.
Sauteed Asparagus with Garlic was cooked just right, not tough, but crunchy and soft, with a rich flavor and a subtle garlic aroma. Mashed Potatoes weren't bad, with a hint of pepper sprinkled on top to keep the flavor from being boring.
The main steak Ribeye MS2+ (250g) was served on a plate with baked potatoes, carrots, broccoli, garlic, etc. as garnishes. You can choose one of four sauces: pepper, mushroom, red wine, and chimichurri. I chose chimichurri.
I chose medium doneness, and it was cooked to perfection. The steak was moderately tender and had a meaty flavor, and was sprinkled with garlic flakes, salt, and pepper, so it was delicious even on its own. The refreshing and sour chimichurri sauce, which eliminate the greasy taste, went well with the steak.
The dessert I chose as the last third dish of the course was Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert that has a soft texture like yogurt and jelly and a subtle sweetness that gives it a luxurious feel. The refreshing point of the passion fruit jam on top was a great ending to the meal.
