Here, a native Italian brings the flavours of the South to Hamburg. Matteo Ferrantino, who, together with Dieter Koschina, previously ran the kitchen of the two-star Vila Joya restaurant in the Portuguese city of Albufeira, presents a modern and creative take on Mediterranean cuisine in the form of two set menus named "Emotion" and "Garten" (vegetarian). Each begins with an array of amuse-bouches and is rounded off with a series of equally delicate petits fours. In between you might opt for Loup de Mer, Porcini, Spinach or Sot-l`y-laisse, Carbonara Ravioli, Black Summer Truffels. With his great taste and considerable technical prowess he prepares premium ingredients, creating exceptionally interesting flavour combinations. Architect Julia Erdmann has designed a chic interior that has all the flair of an Italian piazza – plus a view of the kitchen.
