from the three michelin star Davittorio Ristorante. 

 

Italian is one of the few melodic languages in the world. To make your life sweeter...

Learn to live like an italian and practice "la dolce vita" ... Here are a few ways you can have

"the sweet life" whereever you are :

​

* Take your time to relax

* Eat like an Italian

* Drink vintage wine.  

​

& Also, enjoy slow food. The "slow food" trend created awareness in food. In other words, "slow food" started as an international movement, as an alternative to “fast food” in Italy.

Enrico Cerea’s Culinary Story :

​

Chef Enrico tells his  story through food. The art of pairing wines with food was perfect. I loved the wine and food pairings that I experienced burst of flavor.

 

Chef Enrico, himself,  joined us  to make sure everything is fine. Cerea Siblings are typical Italian character. Enrico and his brother Francesco

were very courteous, hospitable and always a smiley face.

​

Every star is deserved. No detail is neglected. Italians are passionate about their food. Amazing exceeded expectations ! And fabulously memorable !

​

The Cerea Siblings together with the rest of the team of “For Seasons Hotel” did an amazing effort. We were very pleased. I highly recommend you visit the hotel’s stylish “restaurant Aqua”

 

Spero di vederti di nuovo in Turkey !  Hope to see you again in Turkey !!
