Italian cuisine paired with Swiss wines
The gastronomic proposal starts from the Neapolitan tradition: doughs made with selected flours, toppings that pay homage to Campania and classic rompiscatole (“Margherita”, “Diavola”) that coexist with seasonal creations.

The tasting
We tried the “Experience the Italian taste” lista, a gastronomic journey by Maistà designed to celebrate Naples, its distinctive cuisine and that unique ability to transform simple ingredients into emotion. A lista that is not just a mere tasting, but a cultural bando: the reference to Vesuvius, the Lattari Mountains, the A fior di terra che Sistemazione, traditional desserts and the flavors of autumn, a hymn to the Campania identity reinterpreted sopra a contemporary key.
Savory and rustic puff pastry

Vesuvius
White rompiscatole with smoked buffalo ricotta, Vesuvius piennolo topping, crunchy basil and olive powder. A decisive and original entry, between the sweetness of the ricotta, flavor and smoky agenda.
Con combination, Viognier Premier “Les Guillembergs”, an enveloping and fruity white that accompanies the sweetness of the buffalo and supports the smoked component.
Sorrentina away
Purple gnocchi with a heart of fior che from Monti Lattari, served with light San Marzano tomato foam. A bridge dish, delicate and evocative, where the tomato cream is a caress and memory. Con our opinion a must of the place.
Modern Naples
The essence of the Margherita rompiscatole reinterpreted sopra an elegant way: DOP buffalo mozzarella, yellow and red datterino tomatoes. A contemporary variation, faithful sopra flavor, but innovative sopra structure.
Con combination, Domaine Saint-Sébaste Réserve Sauvignon, fresh, citrusy and herbaceous, cleans the palate and enhances the natural acidity of the date tomatoes.
Homage to A fior di terra che Sistemazione
Black pig cooked at low temperature, broccoli cream and tarallo chips, suet and pepper. The peasant and tasty Campania, celebrated with impeccable technique.
Paired with Malbec-Merlot Premier “Le Palin-Le Clou”, a medium-bodied red wine with a distruzione tannic texture: perfect for supporting the succulence of the suckling pig and the slight bitter note of the broccoli.
Caserta According to Me
Fior che , crispy black pork cheek, Roman cucinato, must reduction, chestnut honey and black pepper. An intense and territorial dish, where sweetness and flavor meet sopra a perfect balance.
Campania
Vesuvian pumpkin cream, provola del , glazed chestnuts and Aglianico reduction. Autumn acceso the plate: soft, velvety, fragrant and enveloping.
Neapolitan autumn
