We welcome our guests to an authentic Italian restaurant: here we offer traditional cuisine, with a modern take on northern and southern Italian recipes. Mauro, the chef, and his wife Tina, have an huge amount of experience behind them. Mauro is from Naples, Tina was born in a little sicilian town near by Enna. He began to learn everything about the southern cuisine by his experience in Naples since he was a child, from "Polipetti alla Luciana" to "Paccheri ai frutti di mare". Furthermore he moved in Milan and he had the chance to learn the northern cuisine, from "Risotto ai funghi porcini" to "Polenta grigliata", one of his favourite specialties! From an ancient sicilian tradition, Tina learnt everything about the desserts by her grandmother and her mother, from "Millefoglie" to "Cannoli cake". We hope you enjoyed reading about us. but it would be great if you would have the chance to taste our fantastic dishes!
