In this video, we're going to talk about the food in the Cucina Del
Capitano on board, the Carnival Sunrise.
And we'll talk a little bit about the accesibility.
I will say this, that from an accessibility perspective,
everything was very easy.
My wife ate her dinner sitting in her wheelchair.
They would've parked her wheelchair away if we'd asked for it.
But the accessibility was really good.
Let's talk about the food.
Before we get to the menu, there's a picture of me
looking at the menu on the app.
You can see that they set before us a very attractive bread.
It had great flavor and one of the interesting things about the bread
is it was kind of soft, they had butter there and a a piece of garlic.
Very good bread.
All, all the things we had from the bakery on board were very good.
As you look at the menu, you'll see they had a wide variety of
soups, and salads, appetizers.
Now we chose a couple of them and both of the ones that we chose we really enjoyed.
This is the housemade burrata, which is described as a handmade, fresh,
handmade Italian cheese made from mozzarella .And I talked to one of the
dining room staff and they said that they literally take the mozzarella and
stretch it and make it soft like that.
And then they added some cheese to the inside.
And the Chardonnay-poached, cherry tomatoes were a great addition to it.
This is known as meatball and it was a very good meatball.
It had mozzarella, you can see baked on top of it.
The sauce was really nice.
I enjoyed it quite a bit.
The salad I chose: the Caesar salad.
And I thought the Caesar salad, on this ship, everywhere I had it was exceptional.
And the one thing that really contributed to that was the
fact that I like anchovies.
And you can actually taste the anchovy in the Caesar salad.
A lot of times they don't put enough anchovy in, so you don't
really get the flavor of it.
I think it adds a lot to the salad.
Cheryl chose the Ensalata Ricola.
And she thought that was really nice.
She enjoyed the sliced, red and yellow beets that were in it, and the
sliced, a thinly sliced, almonds.
She thought they're really nice.
You'll notice that the dressing came on the side.

They had a really nice menu, a lot of choices on it.
we'll talk about the ones that we tried.
My wife ordered the fish entree, which was almond crusted, a
filet of sea bass, a, branzino.
And then it was served on stewed chickpeas.
The black on top there is called mushroom bark.
And then it also had a lemon butter emulsion with it.
For her side: and my wife order lentils, and the lentils came with
two pieces of roast broccoli on top.
This was probably our only really minor complaint.
She thought that the lentils were just a little bit under done.
For my main course, I chose the Paparadelle.
It is a grilled shrimp that's simmered in a pomodorini sauce
with a paparadelle pasta.
It was excellent.
I'm a shrimp lover to start with, but I really enjoyed that.
For my sides I ordered roasted cauliflower and broccoli, and it was perfect for me.
Some people might have thought it was a little bit al dente.
I, that's the way I like my vegetables.
So it was great.
And a very interesting presentation and flavor.

A nice selection of desserts, we'll talk about the desserts that we chose.
We thought desserts on board Carnival everywhere were great.
This is called a tiramisu and it would be the specialty drink
for the Italian restaurant.
I think martini with coffee liqueur, and with the chocolate liqueur in it.
Very tasty.
This was my wife's choice for dessert.
It is a pie crust that has a Chardonnay-stewed apples inside it.
It has caramel ice cream with some almond slivers on top of it.
And she loved it!
This was my choice for dessert: it's a chocolate cookie with
some whipped cream on it.
It's got a little bit of a filling in it with coffee gelato.
But for me, anytime I can get coffee and chocolate together,
I'm really, really happy.
I will say this about Cucina Del Capitano I thought it was an excellent value.
The meal you saw was a $15 surcharge to eat there.
They gave you all the food you could eat.
We could have ordered more than we did.
The restaurant is very accessible easy to get around in.
So it's one of those places that I thought got really high marks
on our Carnival Sunrise cruise
