The essential is visible to taste.
The culture of the essential we want to communicate is the one of the fast evolving
Mediterranean Sea. We mix the millenary heritage of this land with the modern culture
of digital. If you eat at us, you will taste our food through the words of our ancient Dialect.

“We started our project at the very ending of the year, when people draw conclusions on their annual activities, and others are eating a Panettone or playing tombola with the Grandma. We started our project during the cold winter, to immediately face the
hardest period of the year, just like Apache kids rolls in the snow to strengthen their
bodies and spirits.”
