A genuine maestro, he reinterprets the Mediterranean and Veneto traditions, using the freshest of local produce and bringing to them imagination and artistry to work a successful alchemy combining the flavours and techniques of local cuisine with those of exotic Oriental cuisines. Unusual marriages and blends of colours, aromas and flavours attain a perfect equilibrium, the result a veritable feast to delight the senses.
