In 2009, we moved to Viareggio from Garfagnana, but I wanted to take care of cooking and open my own restaurant where I could offer the cuisine learned "di la dalla Apuane" and that of the sea, which I did not yet know. I had the good fortune to meet people who helped me to take this path, especially I have to thank the guys from Lampare, fishermen who use these boats from the south and "naturalized" Viareggio. They brought me many products, they taught me how to use them.

Spring, the awakening of nature. There are many seasonal products that enrich our table: fresh vegetables like salad, radishes, wild herbs, and then so much fish that populate again our shores. Oil and wine, which never fail, strawberries, flowers and baked goods, as a good focaccia bread to combine with our dishes.
