To achieve this, he works closely with local producers, in particular his trusted market gardener, guaranteeing a cuisine rooted in seasonality and authenticity.

Fish is one of the highlights of the menu, with particular attention paid to lobster, the chef's signature ingredient. This exceptional crustacean is showcased through daring combinations that awaken the taste buds and invite a unique culinary experience, between respect for gastronomic heritage and contemporary touches.
