Every moment of our free time, holidays
included (often with Giovanni and Alberto), has been spent
learning about, trying to understand and studying the cuisine,
customs and traditions of other countries.
This process of studying and appreciating cuisine and cultures
which are different from ours has been fundamental in our
quest to discover our very own style of cooking.
In this way many of the most important French houses such
as Bocuse, Troisgros, Haeberlin, Vergé, Point, Guerard,
Pic, and Italian ones such as Cantarelli and Colombani have
shown us the way forward.
A restaurant is the perfect balance between yourself, your
kitchen, and your guests, all combining to create a magical
whole. Our restaurant aims to satisfy a myriad of emotions
and pleasures while at the same time being rigorous, full
of character, peaceful, charming and courteous. One other
important factor which is never forgotten is health.
While keeping the principles which tradition has taught us
firmly in mind, we also aim to move with the times. As alimentary
and nutritional needs change, so it is the responsibility
of those who cook and receive guests to keep apace with this
constant evolution.
We aren't sure if we've achieved our goal; we still have the
sensation of being on a long journey of discovery with an
ever-longer road ahead of us. This is probably largely due
to the fact that our work allows us to constantly encounter
diverse aspects of the world we live in.
