Upon arrival at the table, the guests is asked if they have any particular preferences, if there is an ingredient they want or, on the contrary, they absolutely don’t want, as well as information on any food intolerances.

On these indications, the Chef will create dishes according to his inspiration using the best seasonal raw materials available. In addition to the three main courses, the Carte Blanche menu also includes delicious amuse bouche and a pre dessert.

Amuse bouche are small courses that are served at the beginning of the meal. Literally translated from French, the term means “enjoy your mouth” and these delicious tastings offer a preview of a chef’s meal, techniques, ingredients and cooking philosophy. They can range from very different foods, but they usually always represent a clue of what you will be consuming at the table. They have now become an inevitable course in every starred restaurant.

The three main courses are usually dishes selected from the restaurant card or instant artistic expression of the Chef.

Usually one of the desserts made by the talented Pastry Chef Francesco De Padova is not missing.

Moreover, we also invite you to give carte blanche also to our Sommelier Lorenzo Paoli and to the Restaurant Manager Alessandro Fè who will be able to select for you the most suitable wines for the courses made by the Chef and offer you an oenological itinerary at a low price without unpleasant surprises in the final bill and without the stress of choosing the correct wine to match.
