Cooking is a science it is up to the cook to make it an art (Gualtiero Marchesi)
Cooking for me is ...
Passion
It is the condition of one who is subjected to an external action or impression and suffers its effect both in the physical and in the soul.
In the kitchen, passion takes center stage and lives on the plate infusing "taste to taste"
EMOTION
To seek emotion in the dish is the ultimate goal of cooking.To thrill is to enhance sensations, to play with memory, to make the senses vibrate, To eat is to celebrate a ritual, traveling a journey
RIGORE
It means respect for the rules of cooking. From rigor comes respect for the ingredient and the diner.
Rigor does not limit us but exalts us,from this intransigence comes the claim to do and strive for the best.

The revolutionaries of yesteryear were not politically correct, they didn't mince words, they didn't use the right words, but they argued with care and culture and, if necessary, launched provocations by confronting the enemy "de visu." Pasquale Caliri is a revolutionary of yesteryear, not dropping tarts apologizing with an "oops!", but proposing truly provocative and swaggering dishes having fun christening them with calembour, subverting the order of ingredients in the description, casually mixing France and Spain with Italic certainties with the aim of alerting senses, messing up axioms and triggering reflections. His is a sincere and authentic "Menefotto" of the prevailing gastronomic mainstream, supported, however, by technique, sensitivity and irony. What is needed, and increasingly lacking, in a restaurant industry that has abdicated its most authentic vocation, losing sense, identity and cultural value.

Professionbale cuisine is not the work of a single chef; it is teamwork. Only they, the kitchen brigades, make a restaurant great.
