Fossette has made a massive comeback. With apparently an infusion of management from the Colabo (Italian) organization, including all new service team, chefs and a new kitchen, both the service and food are now absolutely excellent. Visiting with a Euro friend, we tried the lasagne as well as the Gorgonzola pasta. Not massive portions, but the taste and texture were spot-on some of the best Italian in Shanghai. We then managed to plow our way through several bottles of wine (188 and 288 RMB), port wine (the server allowed us to try a few first, nice), calvados, some beers and, so I was told the next day, an espresso thrown in for good measure. They've also adjusted the lighting and some decoration, giving a major facelift to the ambiance. Well done, we'll be back.

Until today I wasn't really satisfied with Fossette (small portions, nothing special, besides the happy hour). However I saw their new menus, and gave it another try... and this time no regrets!
My friend and I both chose the 58rmb set, one drink, salad of the day, and sandwich or pasta (careful though, for several items you need to add up to 15rmb!).
At first we got bread with a kind of pate, it was alright, and the salad was simple: some peppers, tomato, chicken, lots of salad... green green stuff.
My friend had the spicy spaghetti with eggplants, and I had those with prawns. Both enjoyed, the cooking was perfect, the quantity big enough, and all tasty (yay I really had lots of shrimps in there!). And for 58rmb with a drink included, that was a good deal.
Congrats Fossette for the improvement! I'll definitely be back.

I have to admit, the staff that I met seemed well-chosen, intelligent, friendly, and unique in comparison to many other Chinese people I have met. Kudos.
