My passion is for the conviviality of the table, for delicious food and great wines. It is for my work as a Chef and what follows from it: the renewal of doubt, the continuous search for flavors and their balance, the childish and patiently awaited joy that comes from each creation.
And above all, it is for every nuance of its aromas: that of freshly pressed oil, the smell of the fireplace, the calm and long hours of cooking a braised meat, the sweet air of ripe figs, and the sour one of grapes during the harvest. Everything that surrounds us speaks of food and memories, and we live with the patient expectation of a flavor that can come back to life only at certain times of the year.

Food thus possesses an intrinsic power, through taste, to convey emotions: lush childhood memories, sweet nostalgia, stimuli for savory exploration, a velvety discovery.
Understanding this connection means never losing sight of the great value food has for each of us, in both our culture and education. The table thus becomes the leitmotif of our life: new discoveries and ancient memories; tasting becomes a unifying gesture.

I have feet deeply rooted in the Tuscan tradition, in Mediterranean haute cuisine, feeling the pride and the burden of respecting and enhancing every single product I use.
And then I travel to explore new taste boundaries, continuous comparisons, necessary stimuli in this journey.
So the kitchen has always responded firmly to these passions, bridging every distance.
