The menu plays a lot with flavour combinations and seasonality. Among the appetizers, therefore, we can find the cod in squid ink tempura served with a rocket cream, the Ionian squid fried in semolina flour and accompanied by Acquaviva red onion jam or the anchovy millefeuille with chicory and buffalo mozzarella crispy in the oven.
