My food

Italian at heart, with a world of flavours

Italy is where my cooking comes from, but my kitchen has no borders. Menus change with the season, the destination and the people at the table.

**Handmade pasta**Tagliatelle, ravioli, orecchiette

**Fish and seafood**Whole fish, crudo, shellfish

**Vegetables and salads**Seasonal and generous

**Bread and focaccia**Baked fresh in your kitchen

**Pastry and desserts**By a trained pastry chef

**Flavours of the world**Beyond Italy, when you want it

Great food doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it is one perfect dish, made exactly as it should be.

The way Italians do dinner

Nobody checks the time

A great meal is more than exquisite food. It is the people, the conversation and an evening that unfolds slowly, from aperitivo to the last coffee.
