My cuisine is based on the Italian cooking heritage and classic French gastronomy,
enriched with Scandinavian freshness and spiced with some Asian influences.
In my kitchen the finest seasonal ingredients are prepared and served with care and precision.
The balance and harmony of flavors and textures combined with traditional values and
modern cooking techniques create an exciting dining experience.
I'll try to make people happy with the new, non-standard and honest stripped-down fine-dining,
without any pretension or ceremony. I have gathered my experiences around the world
to serve you a delicious fusion of taste and style, our special Figaro cuisine.

I've always been fascinated by nature and all the products it spontaneously gives us. When I use the ingredients I always have a great respect for their uniqueness and features. It.s important for me to understand them, one by one, individually, the density, the smell and especially taste. Taste them and feel how parts of them and become a part of me. To associate food from me carefully chosen, the one with the other is an essential step for stimulating my creativity. Using it to express all its natural potential through harmony of shapes, scents and textures is my point.
