“My first project was to create an Albergo Diffuso in Montepagano.
Soon after I realized that the hotel also needed a restaurant. Meanwhile, fate had brought me to meet Davide Pezzuto who,
during his sabbatical, was looking for interesting stimuli.
While I was telling Davide what I was doing, he was receiving proposals from famous restaurants in Italian and foreign metropolises. Honestly, I didn’t think I had much chance to arouse his interest.
In the end I told him “chef, my little village is very different from Tokyo, Paris, Rome, but it has a lot of history to tell and we can contribute to its rebirth”. And then, there is a twenty-hectare farm at the restaurant’s complete disposal”. I didn’t have to add anything else Davide agreed to share my project and his contribution was immediately valuable. After a few days, he came up with the idea of the widespread restaurant, with the same characteristics as the hotel that was being built. It is, in fact, located in different structures of the old military quarter. You can book them according to the experience you want to live (the lounge, the small “fireplace” room, the main dining room, the privèe You&Me, the cellar, the event hall).
The kitchen is centralized. An original format and, at the moment, unique in the restaurante and catering world.
An idea that goes beyond a simple commercial project”.
