This experience was born from the meeting of my two great passions: cooking and astrology. If the passion for cooking was handed down to me first by my grandmother and then by my mother, the passion for astrology, on the other hand, was born and raised with me and accompanies me in my daily life. The idea of bringing together these two worlds, seemingly far apart, fascinates and excites me. Savoring and discovering new sensations and emotions will be the common thread of the experience. Having some personal data, I will be able to develop your birth chart and interpret it in a personalized way, going to discover your talents and potential. All this while savoring traditional and local dishes. The menu is customizable upon reservation.
