New Menu Highlights Fresh Regional Ingredients and Sardinian Cuisine
The Cervo Hotel, part of Starwood’s Costa Smeralda Resorts, announces new Chef Luca Depalo at the hotel’s premier restaurant Il Pescatore. This rustically elegant restaurant specializes in fish and seafood dishes with a waterfront terrace and stunning panoramic views of the village of Porto Cervo and luxurious yachts moored on the bay.
Italian-born Chef Luca Depalo has worked at various successful international restaurants, most recently at Numero in Manchester, England and has studied at the renowned Hotel Institute in Locarno, Switzerland. At Il Pescatore, his focus will be on seasonal and locovore cooking that celebrates Sardinia’s cuisine, Mediterranean influences, utilizing regional produce and ingredients. Guests can experience dishes that tell the Island’s story through its flavors and proud culinary tradition.
“We have introduced several typical recipes that aim to authentically present Sardinia’s cuisine to our guests,” explains Maurizio Immacolato, Food & Beverage Manager of the Cervo Complex that manages the Il Pescatore restaurant. “Our discerning international clientele desire to experience Sardinia’s natural beauty but also discover island culture through the its unique flavors.”
Il Pescatore translates to “The Fisher” and the cuisine is wholly reflected in the name. Among others, the following are few enticing new menu items: fresh prawns, green apples and grapefruit salad; tagliolini pasta with prawns and almond pesto; and frog fish filet with flavored mashed potatoes and ricotta cheese pie with pineapple and ginger sauce.
The Cervo Hotel and Il Pescatore are located in the heart of the Porto Cervo, steps away from designer boutiques, nightlife and cultural attractions. From May until the end of September, the restaurant is open every day for dinner from 8:00pm to 11:00pm and can be found crossing the charming wooden bridge that connects the Piazzetta with the Old Harbour.
