Enrico did a fantastic job making our vacation dinner special. Great Sicilian food and very interesting back stories for each dish made the meal memorable. He was also able to make a last minute menu change happen with very little fuss. Highly recommend.

Enrico was excellent throughout the evening. The food and the wine pairings were excellent and made more delicious by the stories he told regarding the origins and content of each dish. His knowledge of Sicily was brilliant but more importantly his experiences of working in kitchens around the world was clearly evident in the manner in which he explained the subtle differences in world cuisine. Overall, Enrico and his team created a most enjoyable and memorable occasion and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to make any night a special one.
