    Pesto risotto, Santa Margherita king prawns and tomato emulsion
    This dish blends the Cerea family’s Lombardy origins with the Ligurian essence of Portofino. Risotto is deeply rooted in Lombardian cuisine, where risotto all’onda, cooked with the lid on to keep it soft and creamy, was traditionally prepared in homes across Milan.
    We enrich the risotto with two local specialities - freshly made pesto and succulent Santa Margherita prawns - to add a Ligurian flavour to the typical north Italian delicacy.
  • Tuna spaghetti with creamy Monterosso anchovy sauce

    Tuna spaghetti with creamy Monterosso anchovy sauce
    Tuna spaghetti offers a true taste of the Mediterrean. The flavourful fish is enhanced with a bagna cauda, a typical Piemonte sauce enriched with Monterosso anchovies. These precious little anchovies are fished off the coast of the Ligurian village, where the particular conditions of the sea make them firmer, sweeter, more balanced and with a distinct flavour of the ocean.
    Topping the dish are pine nuts. Originally from Tuscany, they arrived in Liguria to become a fundamental ingredient of the local cuisine.

    Il nostro Cappon Grasso, a Ligurian-style crustacean and vegetable salad
    Traditionally, Cappon Magro was prepared with inferior fish or leftovers, layered with vegetables and dressed with a green sauce.
    In our version of the Ligurian staple, the poor becomes rich and the fish become sumptuous crustaceans, creating an authentic feast of sea flavours.
