What Makes a Great Lobster Bisque

A great bisque starts with the shells. The lobster shells are roasted and simmered to extract every bit of flavor before the soup is strained and finished with cream. That is what gives it the deep, concentrated lobster flavor that you cannot fake with extract or bouillon. The texture should be smooth enough to drink but rich enough to feel substantial. Ours hits that mark perfectly.

Too many restaurants serve lobster bisque that tastes like cream soup with a hint of seafood. That is not bisque. Real bisque has depth. It has layers of flavor that develop as you eat. The first spoonful is rich and warm. By the third, you are tasting the sweetness of the lobster, the nuttiness of the roasted shells, and the subtle heat of the seasonings. That is the Ciao Italia version.

A Soup Worth Ordering Every Time

Many of our regular guests order the Aragosta Bisque on every visit. It is one of those dishes that never gets old because it is made fresh each day and the quality never wavers. Whether it is your first time at Ciao Italia or your fiftieth, the bisque will remind you why you keep coming back.

Pair It with the Rest of the Menu

The Aragosta Bisque pairs beautifully with our seafood entrees, including the risotto pescatore and our fresh fish preparations. It also works as a luxurious start before our handmade pastas, veal, lamb, or chicken dishes. Ask your server about tonight's specials to build the perfect meal around it.
