Mamma mia, what an unforgettable evening! 🍕✨

Yesterday, the Smeg showroom in Amsterdam turned into a bustling Italian pizzeria for an incredible team-building workshop with the fantastic team from Adyen! Bringing people together through the art of Italian hospitality is my true passion, and the energy in the room was absolutely electric. Huge thanks to everyone from Adyen for bringing your enthusiastic spirit, creativity, and appetite to the table! You all mastered the art of the dough beautifully.

❤️ A very special thank you goes to my wonderful mother! She is visiting me for the week and her incredible help behind the scenes made this event a massive success. Having her by my side sharing our culinary roots is a true blessing!

Want to recreate that magic in your own kitchen? Bring the taste of Italy home with this simple, foolproof recipe:

A piece of the “Bosco Verticale” to Amsterdam.
For the presentation of ‘s book at the I wanted to create a catering experience that went beyond just food,
a truly sensory journey.
The centerpiece was designed as a multi-level structure, wrapped in lush greenery and fragrant herbs to capture the architectural essence of the original project and evoke a deep olfactory and emotional impact.
A perfect dialogue between food, design, and nature.
What do you think of this table setting? Let me know in the comments!

Amsterdam, pure energy and Italian talent!
I had the pleasure of hosting 15 incredible young people visiting Amsterdam for a career orientation program. The goal? To gain a firsthand understanding of the dynamics of internationally successful companies, while also keeping our values close to our hearts.
In the beautiful showroom, we experienced a laboratory of ideas and flavors.
I shared my experience—catering, events, team building, and culinary travel—explaining how sustainability, ethics, and talent development are the driving force behind everything I do. But I wanted to make them understand that the true “secret ingredient” for winning global challenges is undoubtedly love, the love that “moves the sun and the other stars,” which, together with our roots, makes us unique.
We got hands-on with a fresh pasta workshop, recreating the format I bring to large companies like Heineken, Booking.com, Philips, Eni, and ITA Airways. 🍝
The magic happened not only when we cooked together, but also when we cleaned up afterward. The dedication, camaraderie, and care these guys showed confirmed one thing: the future is in excellent hands. They have the right spirit to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you guys, it was an honor to see you at work! ✨

A recipe first takes shape in my imagination, then I sketch it on paper to test the combination of shapes, colors, and positioning of the ingredients, evoking in my memory the flavors and combinations of acidity, sweetness, crunchiness, and softness.
This is how my lemon tuna tartare was born, with mango mousse and pearls, pistachio brittle, and fresh apricot.
Enjoy it ✨

Happy Easter!!!

“Simbre na pupa aricrisciuta”
(You look like a leavened doll) my mother used to tell me when I wear a dress that’s a little tight on me 😜

In Abruzzo, Easter smells of pastry and childhood memories thanks to the traditional Pupe and Cavalli.
These hand-decorated sweets carry the true essence of our land:
the “Pupa” (doll) for girls and the “Cavallo” (horse) for boys, both serving as symbols of life and family.
May your table be filled with beauty and authentic flavors!
🇮🇹 Simbre na pupa aricrisciuta (Sembri una pupa lievitata) mi diceva mamma quando indosso un abito che mi va un po’ stretto.

Buona Pasqua 🐣✨
In Abruzzo, la Pasqua profuma di biscotti e di ricordi d’infanzia con le tradizionali Pupe e i Cavalli. Questi dolci decorati a mano portano con sé l’autenticità della nostra terra: la Pupa per le bambine e il Cavallo per i bambini, simboli di vita e di famiglia.
Che la vostra tavola sia piena di bellezza e sapori autentici!
