FINE DINING
NONNAMARIA , GRANDMA ’ S SPECIALTIES REVISITED IN ALL SIMPLICITY

Simple and efficient — this is Sophie and Enzo ’ s credo . Their family restaurant generously shares ’ nonna ’ recipes with Italian cuisine lovers . This sun-filled gastronomy , using carefully selected products , was inspired by a Neapolitan grandmother Maria . For their savoury recipes , the couple goes off the beaten track , having specially reserved land plots on the Amalfi Coast to grow their own tomatoes . They bring an amazing olive oil from Greece and have chosen the Bordeaux area for a red syrah and premium white chardonnay wines . As to their famous clam pasta , certified organic shellfish comes all the way from the Chausey Islands ...

Everything is carefully thought through . The restaurant ’ s informal atmosphere is well reminiscent of a meal with friends . Sophie and Enzo rightly position themselves as ’ creators of gourmet pleasures ’. To achieve this kind of excellence , they are happy to invest in the best quality products , adding a personal touch that makes all the difference . ’ Our philosophy is respecting seasonal products without sacrificing to fashion . In the Neapolitan tradition we treasure the spirit of the dish . For example , you will never find an egg on our pizzas ! It ’ s not what our culture is about ’.
Speaking about NonnaMaria ’ s pizza , it is highly praised by real connoisseurs . A Calabrian pizzaiolo religiously follows his Neapolitan recipes , letting the dough rise for 48 hours for an incomparable result .
A few Greek recipes complete the menu , highlighting the Mediterranean flavours .
