Chef Elian Layousse has about 30 years of experience in Italy, his cuisine is traditional Italian with personal Galilean touches that reflect his reincarnation.
At a young age, Elian moved to New York, where he worked as a cook. After experiencing the new luxury, he moved to Italy and set up his own restaurant there. To this day Elian owns a very large wine canteen in Italy and there he has also won several competitions for the wine he produces. Chef Elian Layousse, along with his team, prepares Italian dishes from classic Italian cuisine.
The quality of the dishes is guaranteed by a careful selection of quality ingredients, seasonal vegetables, fresh meat, fresh homemade pasta, and fresh desserts prepared on-site daily. Instead, they combine passion and tradition and produce each dish according to modern cooking standards, by using delicate flavors and while maintaining respect for the area and traditional methods.
