“I like to have fun and entertaining is part of my job:
it’s how I express myself, the restaurant is a way for me and my guests to share and take part in each other’s experience.
It’s like a performance where I arrange the score;
a spectacle of sights, sounds, smells and flavours.”

Cuisine and
philosophy
I grew up in my parents’ restaurant. When I was 9 years old, my father sat me on a case of water to watch over the pots and that was the moment I fell in love with food. I could smell all the wonderful aromas and I entered into a magical world, one I’ve never been able to leave since.This almost innate passion evolved into curiosity, keen interest and finally expertise.
I started travelling and learned my art from masters, from the land and from all the different flavours I tasted around the world. When I returned home my apprenticeship was complete and my cuisine was born.
