 House Carbonara Pasta: A Reinvented Classic with the Sibari Seal – Intensity, Smoothness, and Comfort in Every Bite

Carbonara is one of the most iconic and debated dishes of Roman cuisine, and at Sibari, we've decided to honor its essence while infusing it with our own unique identity, creating a version that is a true pleasure for the palate. Our House Carbonara Pasta is a reinvented classic that has won the hearts of locals and tourists alike.

• The Perfect Pasta: We start with al dente pasta, which is the foundation of any good Carbonara. We use the finest quality fresh pasta, cooked with precision to maintain that slightly tough texture that allows the sauce to cling perfectly to every strand.
  
  
• Ingredientes que Sorprenden y Armonizan: Nuestra versión va más allá de lo convencional, incorporando elementos que realzan la complejidad del sabor sin abrumarlo:
  
  • Pollo tierno: Jugosos trozos de pollo, cocinados a la perfección, que aportan una proteína magra y una textura suave que se integra armoniosamente.
    
    
  • Tocineta crujiente: La tocineta, con su sabor ahumado y salado, se cocina hasta quedar deliciosamente crujiente, aportando un contraste de textura y una explosión de sabor en cada bocado.
    
    
  • Ajo confitado: El ajo, cocinado lentamente hasta la dulzura y la suavidad, infunde una profundidad aromática que eleva el perfil de sabor general de la salsa, sin ser invasivo.
    
    
  • Salsa cremosa de setas: Aquí reside uno de los secretos de nuestro “sello Sibari”. Una salsa sedosa y aterciopelada, preparada con una selección de setas frescas, que aporta notas umami y una cremosidad inigualable, envolviendo la pasta con una capa de puro confort.
    
    
• Experiencia Sensorial: El resultado es un plato intenso, suave y profundamente reconfortante. Cada bocado es una sinfonía de sabores y texturas: la masticabilidad de la pasta, la salinidad crujiente de la tocineta, la suavidad del pollo, el dulzor del ajo y la riqueza umami de la salsa de setas. Es un plato que nutre el alma y el cuerpo, convirtiéndose en un favorito entre nuestros visitantes y consolidando a Sibari como el restaurante italiano Medellín con una de las mejores pastas.

 Burrata Pizza: A Feast of Textures and Flavors, the Neapolitan Soul with a Gourmet Provencal Touch

Pizza is Italy's universal ambassador, and at Sibari, we honor it with a version that captures the soul of Naples: thin and crispy dough, fresh, top-quality ingredients, and an unmistakable flavor. Our Burrata Pizza is an icon of our menu and a must-have to share (or not).

• Impeccable Artisan Base: The foundation of our pizza is an artisanal base made with slow-fermented dough, which gives it a light, alveolated, and easy-to-digest texture. Baked at high temperatures, it achieves that perfect balance between crispy edges (cornicione) and a soft, supple center.
  
  
• Layers of Fresh, Vibrant Flavor: On top of this perfect base, we spread a layer of sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, which add natural sweetness and vibrant acidity. Black olives add a salty, Mediterranean note, while aromatic pesto infuses a bold basil and garlic flavor. Fresh arugula, added after baking, provides a slightly bitter and peppery contrast that cleanses the palate.
  
  
• The Creamy Star: Burrata and Prosciutto: What makes this pizza unique and spectacular is the post-baking addition of generous chunks of creamy burrata. This fresh buffalo cheese, with its soft, milky heart that melts in the mouth, is added to preserve its unparalleled smoothness and freshness. Thin slices of prosciutto di Parma (cured ham) are delicately arranged, lending an additional saltiness and elegance.
  
  
• A Shared Experience: The Burrata Pizza is a sublime blend of textures and flavors: the crispness of the dough, the freshness of the vegetables, the saltiness of the ham, and the indulgent creaminess of the burrata. It's perfect for sharing, allowing each diner to enjoy a slice of authentic Italy with a gourmet touch. It's a dish that not only delights the palate but is also visually stunning, ideal for a dinner at the Rooftop Medellín with friends or as a couple.

 Portobello Steak: Elegance, Flavor, and Perfection in Every Cut – A Meat Lover's Delight

For lovers of high-quality meat, our Filetto di Portobello is a specialty that embodies Sibari's elegance and culinary mastery. It's a dish designed to impress, ideal for special dinners or an evening of fine dining in Medellín.

• Perfectly Seared Beef Loin: We use premium beef loin, which is seared to perfection on the grill or pan. This technique creates a delicious, crispy outer crust, while the inside remains juicy and tender, cooked to your liking.
  
  
• Complementing Sides: The steak is accompanied by a rich balsamic reduction, a concentrated, sweet and sour sauce that provides depth of flavor and a mouthwatering brightness. Slices of roasted portobello add a meaty texture and an earthy umami flavor that pairs exceptionally well with the meat. A garnish of fresh seasonal vegetables, cooked al dente, brings freshness, color, and a nutritious note to the dish.
  
  
• Gourmet Experience: Each cut of the Filetto di Portobello is an invitation to elegance and flavor. The combination of the tenderness of the meat, the intensity of the reduction, the earthiness of the mushrooms, and the freshness of the vegetables creates a symphony of flavors and textures that delights the most discerning palate. It is a dish that stands out for its sophisticated simplicity and the quality of its ingredients, positioning Sibari as a top restaurant in Medellín for steaks.

 Risotto with Mushrooms: Aroma, Creaminess, and Comfort – The Essence of Italy in Every Spoonful

Risotto is one of the most comforting and iconic dishes of Northern Italian cuisine, and at Sibari, we prepare it with the patience and precision it deserves. Our Risotto ai Funghi is a culinary experience that envelops the senses with its aroma, creaminess, and deep flavor.

• Arboreo Rice Slow Cooked to Perfection: The base of our risotto is arboreo rice, a short grain variety ideal for its high starch content, which is cooked slowly, adding aromatic vegetable stock spoonful by spoonful. This constant process of adding liquid and stirring allows the starch to be released, creating a creamy, al dente texture, where each grain maintains its integrity while melting into a velvety base.
  
  
• Sautéed Mushrooms and Gourmet Touches: We incorporate a generous mix of sautéed mushrooms (such as button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, and occasionally the delicacy of funghi porcini), which provide a deep umami flavor, earthy notes, and a meaty texture that perfectly complements the rice. The final, decisive touch comes from a pinch of truffle butter that infuses a sophisticated and enveloping aroma, and a generous amount of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, which adds saltiness and an unmatched creaminess.
  
  
• Complete Sensory Experience: The result is an aromatic, creamy, and umami-filled dish that nourishes both body and soul. Its rich flavor and comforting texture make it a favorite, ideal for a hearty yet elegant meal, and a cornerstone of our signature Italian cuisine.

 Burrata with Prosciutto: The Star Appetizer – Simple, Elegant, and Addictively Delicious

This appetizer is the epitome of simplicity and quality in Italian cuisine, and has become a firm favorite among our guests at Sibari. The Burrata with Prosciutto is an explosion of flavor and texture that prepares the palate for the experience to come.

• Creamy Buffalo Burrata: The heart of the dish is a fresh buffalo burrata, imported directly from Italy. This fresh, artisanal cheese is characterized by its firm exterior and a soft, creamy, almost liquid interior that oozes deliciously when cut. Its flavor is delicate, milky, and slightly sweet.
• Harmony of Flavors and Textures: The burrata is accompanied by thin slices of cured ham (prosciutto di Parma), with its salty flavor and a texture that melts in the mouth. The refreshing acidity of the sun-ripened cherry tomatoes and the slightly peppery touch of the fresh arugula balance the richness of the cheese and ham. Everything is enhanced with a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and served with freshly baked artisan sourdough bread, perfect for capturing every flavor.
  
  
• Addictive Experience: It's a starter that's simple in concept, elegant in presentation, and addictively delicious in flavor. The combination of the creaminess of the burrata, the saltiness of the ham, and the freshness of the vegetables creates a perfect symphony that makes it a must-try to start your experience at the Italian restaurant Medellín.

 Tuscan Salmon: Mediterranean Flavor and Freshness – Light, Vibrant, and Sophisticated

For those looking for a lighter, fish-based option, our Salmon Toscana is a specialty that combines flavor and freshness with the elegance of coastal Italian cuisine.

• Perfectly Grilled Salmon: A juicy fillet of fresh salmon, expertly grilled to retain its tenderness and natural flavor, with a slightly crispy skin.
  
  
• Pasta in Seafood Sauce: Salmon is served on a bed of al dente pasta, bathed in a delicate, light, and aromatic seafood sauce. Fresh spinach and sun-dried (or roasted) tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and concentrated acidity that beautifully complement the flavors of the ocean.
  
  
• Sophisticated Experience: This dish fuses the lightness of fish with the subtle richness of seafood and the vibrancy of vegetables, creating a culinary experience that is both nutritious and indulgent. Ideal for those seeking a sophisticated and fresh dish.

 Chocolate and Arequipe Cake: The Perfect Ending to Any Meal – Sweetness, Intensity, and Comfort

No Italian dining experience is complete without a sweet ending to complete the evening. Our Chocolate and Arequipe Cake is Sibari's signature dessert, an indulgence that will leave you wanting more.

• A Fluffy and Intense Delight: Imagine a moist and dense chocolate sponge cake, with a deep and intense cocoa flavor. This is perfectly complemented by layers of a silky chocolate ganache and, the star of the dessert, a creamy and delicious arequipe heart (dulce de leche), which provides a comforting sweetness and a smooth texture.
  
  
• The Perfect Ending: It is a cake that balances the bitterness of chocolate with the sweetness of arequipe, creating a symphony of flavors that fully satisfies the craving for something sweet.
  
  
• Ideal Pairing: It's the perfect ending to any meal, beautifully enhanced with an authentic Espresso to balance its sweetness, or with our indulgent Ice Nutella Latte for an even more decadent experience. It's the ideal culmination of a fine dining Medellín dinner.

 Affogato: Classic Digestive Sybari Style – Simple, Elegant and Refreshing

Affogato is a classic Italian dessert and digestif that embodies elegance in its simplicity. At Sibari, we prepare it with the authenticity it deserves, offering a refreshing and delicious finish.

• The Essence of Contrast: This is a scoop of high-quality vanilla ice cream, with its creamy sweetness, generously dipped in a shot of hot, freshly prepared Italian espresso.
  
  
• An Explosion of Temperatures and Flavors: The combination of the cold, creamy ice cream that melts smoothly with the warmth and intense bitterness of the espresso creates an explosion of flavors and temperatures that is both refreshing, comforting and surprisingly clean on the palate.
  
  
• Perfect Digestif: This is a light but impressive dessert, 100% Italian, ideal for cleansing the palate after a meal and an excellent alternative to an alcoholic digestif. It's a classic that never fails to round out your Sibari experience.

 Recommended Cocktails to Pair: Mixology that Enhances the Gourmet Experience

An exceptional meal is enhanced by the right drink. At Sibari, our cocktail menu is designed to perfectly complement our specialties, elevating your dining experience.

• Negroni with Meat or Burrata: This intense and sophisticated classic, with its balance of gin, rosso vermouth and Campari, pairs perfectly with the richness of our meats such as Filetto di Portobello or the creaminess of Burrata with Prosciutto.
  
  
• Black Pearl with Desserts or After-Dinner: A bold combination of Grey Goose Vodka, espresso, and vanilla foam. It's the perfect after-dinner cocktail, ideal with our desserts or to extend the after-dinner conversation with energy and elegance.
