Here we are! Marco, Alessia, Morgana, Asiasofia and the newborn Luce.

 

We have been working in F&B since 1997, first in Italy, then on Ko Rong Salolem and starting November 2013 here in Kampot. We chose Kampot after a long search around the world that lasted 1 year as you can see from the pictures hanging on the walls of our restaurant.

 

Long story short: we were tired of living in Italy and feel constrained in Country that is drifting backward and is jammed by burocrats. Working hard is repaid only by frustration and limitations. So we left everything behind, spent a sabbatical year discovering new places and we ended up here! The original dream was to live in a farm in the mountain and to create an eco-resort completely self sufficient. We soon realized that we did not have the means to make our dream come true in a near future so we decided to go back doing what we do best: cook delicious food and shelter travellers in our home. Cambodia is full of surprises and opportunities and it has been fun to start this new adventure. We have created a little Italian corner in Kampot and the results accomplished so far make us proud and happy.We mix the typical Italian warmth and the slow rhythm of Cambodia, local ingredients and imported goods, we try suppliers based in Cambodia that have been here for years and make Italian products using local resources. Slowly we are trying to select the best and improve the quality of our food, of our restaurant and of our home so to make them as welcoming and pleasant as possible.

 

Last but not least, the knowledge of our professional Chef Marco is a guarantee of the genuinity of our ingredients, of the correct conservation and cooking method of the food we serve. Marco has over 25 years of experience in this field that allows him to put on your table pizza dough naturally raised, 48 hours raised bread, fresh pasta made with eggs as tradionally done in Emilia Romagna, delicious fresh sauces, homemade desserts, meat and fish cooked to perfection, homemade limoncello, jams , grappa all organics and from biological agricultures. He strongly believe and pays attention into putting positive energies in this beastly and capitalistic world. "Respect ourselves and find within us what we are looking for...."

 

Good light to everybody and enjoy your food!
