Awards & distinctions
« In this contemporary restaurant in one of the city's most fashionable districts, the duo Aurora Storari and Flavio Lucarini compose a lively, contemporary cuisine sprinkled with Italian touches, favouring short supply chains and changing with the seasons. Dishes are enhanced by addictive sauces, such as this wild garlic and pea ragout that accompanies a generous morel stuffed with cecina... and always a note of freshness brought by a herb or a citrus fruit. Don't miss the essential spaghetti cacio e pepe, given a bold, playful twist with a homemade tomato zaatar. Also worth noting: an appetising, entirely plant-based menu is offered. A very fine wine list, mostly organic or natural; attentive service. In substance, an excellent address! »
