Led by Chef Marco Anzani, the restaurant presents Mediterranean flavors reinterpreted through a more contemporary and globally influenced approach. The menu highlights ingredients commonly found across the Mediterranean, including olive oil, seafood, cheeses, herbs, and spices, combined with elements from regions such as Italy, Turkey, Morocco, and North Africa.
Chef Anzani balances these influences with both locally sourced ingredients and imported produce, creating dishes that are layered, complex, and well-composed.
