The restaurant is led by Guillermo Busceni, recently appointed head chef but a longtime second in command. The Mediterranean gastronomic line boasts a strong Ligurian influence – savory, aromatic, and flavorful – while incorporating modern presentations and techniques. It revives ancient traditions, such as "Meat-Stuffed Lettuce in Capon Broth," and introduces unique creations such as "Pearls of Genoa...our Gnocchi with Pesto." The wine list is notably above average, internationally awarded, with a dedicated volume on Italian and French sparkling wines.
