the Kitchen

Our kitchen is the kingdom of “harmonious contrasts”: the inexhaustible study of tradition fuels contemporary creativity of our dishes.

Our attention is always focused on the latest innovations in international cuisine, to improve our local cuisine and establish a connection that unites Vico Equense and Italy with the rest of the world.

Sustainability and innovation
for the future of Mediterranean cuisine

We use innovative tools that allow us to reduce waste and handle ingredients with respect, which means bringing the authentic flavour of the products to the plate.

Memory plays a crucial role in keeping us focused and in remembering scents, textures, voices that have accompanied us over the years and made us who we are.

Innovation is the way forward when it comes to making contemporary flavours timeless, the ability to cross generations and remain current.

Our challenge: sustainable ingredients and intense flavours.

We look for local producers that embrace our vision of quality and respect for the environment. We utilise our products to re-create the essence of an entire region in every dish.

We use ingredients
in their entirety

This is the case, for example, ‘Triglia fritta non fritta’, which is red-mullet cooked “whole”, that is, using its liver, tail and scales. A seafood dish so intense that it pairs best with red wine, demonstrating the wonderful contrasts of which our cuisine is capable.

First love:
pastry

At La Torre del Saracino pastry plays a central role. Over the years it has been the testing ground for multiple experiments that have made the classics of Italian and local gastronomy contemporary.
