our chef
leonardo iacometti
Originally from Tuscany, where his grandmother had a restaurant, Leonardo has a fascination for the starred restaurants where he had the chance to be trained to become the chef he is today. For Leonardo, taste is the most important part of his cuisine. A cuisine centred on the ingredients. One that should be authentic, good, fresh and seasonal. But above all, he is focused on delivering the utmost refined and tasty gastronomic experience his cooking can provide.
"Passion and curiosity drive me every day to seek excellence, try out new recipes, and improve. For me, cooking is not just about lighting a fire or holding a pan; it's much more than it seems. To me, it's an act of love, the deepest act of love. Transmitting my passion for food to people through my dishes is my mission."

sonia capriolo
Originally from Piedmont, where she grew up surrounded by her grandfather’s vineyards, Sonia’s lifelong passion for wine began at an early age. For her, wine is more than just a drink – it’s a connector, a source of pleasure, and the spark that can transform an evening. Sonia’s approach to wine is intuitive and rooted in the joy of savouring. She steers clear of overly technical jargon, instead weaving stories that bring wine to life.
As a true wine storyteller, she says, “It’s about making our guests dream.”
