Awards & distinctions
50 Top Italy 2026 · n°18 mondial · Prix Passion Dessert
« Dans ce restaurant contemporain des beaux quartiers, le tandem Aurora Storari et Flavio Lucarini compose une cuisine vivante et actuelle, parsemée de touches italiennes, qui privilégie les circuits courts et évolue au gré des saisons. Des assiettes rehaussées de sauces addictives, comme ce ragoût de petits pois à l'ail des ours qui accompagne une plantureuse morille farcie à la cecina... et toujours une note de fraîcheur apportée par une plante ou un agrume. Ne manquez pas les incontournables spaghettis cacio e pepe, revisités avec peps et malice avec un zaatar maison à la tomate. À noter également : on propose un appétissant menu entièrement végétal. Très belle carte des vins, en majorité bio ou nature ; service attentionné. En substance, une excellente adresse ! »
