Eurasia, Asian-Italian fusion restaurant in Naples, United States.
Eurasia is a restaurant in Naples, Florida, where Vietnamese and Italian cooking appear together on a single menu. The dishes range from Eggplant alla Vodka and Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Grass to Italian pasta and Asian noodle soups.
The restaurant was founded by Monique, originally from Saigon, and Ettore Mancini, from Itri near Rome, both of whom moved to the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. Their shared experience of settling in a new country led them to open a place where both of their culinary backgrounds would have equal standing.
The name Eurasia says it all: two continents, two cooking traditions, side by side on the same menu. Dishes like Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Grass sit next to Italian pasta preparations, and neither tradition takes a back seat to the other.
The restaurant is open in the evenings, so it works well as a dinner stop rather than a lunch option. Orders can also be placed online for those who prefer to eat at home.
Despite the mix of two cuisines, the Vietnamese and Italian dishes on the menu are kept as distinct offerings rather than blended into a single style. This means a table can order one dish from each tradition and taste both kitchens side by side in the same meal.
