the beautiful courtyard or venture inside where the open kitchen with its remarkable red standalone oven strikes you as soon as you enter. For Pierangelini, it’s the ‘main actor’ in the scene,


perhaps tied with his varied menu, which includes oven-baked langoustines, ginger-glazed sole and tender beef accompanied by wild mushrooms and peaches. Desserts range from chocolate pizza to light zabaione, and burrata and Parma ham are served to start with freshly baked breads. “Te oven is well known for the fragrant bread and the delicious ‘focaccine’ – that’s the Italian name – we bake in,” he smiles. Designed by Ziffer, the restaurant also features


candlelit copper tabletops, which reflect the natural light that streams in, and contrast with the striking black and white cement floor. Elsewhere in the property, Grandimpianti created


custom-made Ambach cooking suites with one- piece hygienic worktops for all the restaurants and cafeterias, as well as a package of refrigeration equipment managed by a centralized system. “It has been a very difficult and demanding


project to manage both in the design phase due to the development of plant arrangements and the construction and execution phase,” D’Andrade says. “But the final result rewarded the whole team.” Pierangelini believes the reason the project was


successful was because everyone involved was attuned to each other’s needs. “Te Grandimpianti team has always helped us by supplying the right equipment for us. Tey are always available and very proactive in providing solutions,” he says. “Te direct relationship, the flexibility, the fast answers and the willingness to listen to our needs makes our work easier and is essential for a successful, long-lasting collaboration.” Grandimpianti has several other projects


underway with Rocco Forte Hotels including Villa Igiea in Palermo, Sicily, which was recently completed, and Hotel de Russie in Rome. Tese two will certainly not be the last. 
