Fulvio Pierangelini has created an outstanding menu with our Executive Chef, showcasing the abundant natural produce of the island – olive oil, oranges, lemons, freshly caught fish, tomatoes and much more – accompanied by a fine selection of Sicilian and International wines. Mozzarella tomato and basil. Raw red prawn tartar. Tagliolini with squid and sage. Traditional tiramisu.
"The simpler the food, the more we have to pay attention because margins of error increase. Simplicity in the kitchen is an arrival point not a starting one. You need courage for simple cooking." Celebrity Chef Fulvio Pierangelini has 25 years of experience. His simple yet refined approach brings distinctive flair to classic Italian dishes.
Born and raised in Sicily, Emanuele started his career in luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants in Sardinia, Venice, Berlin, Prague and elsewhere in Europe. This approach allowed him to learn new techniques and work with ingredients grown around the world. Today, his love for Sicily and respect for local produce and raw ingredients shine through in our menus.
Originally from Caserta, Sommelier Nando Papa began his career in Monte Carlo. His professionalism and passion for vino buono saw him runner-up in the wine industry’s version of the Oscars in the year 2000 and honoured with the title of "Chevalier" of the Ordre des Coteaux De Champagne in 2018.
Named for the fragrant orange blossom that scents the estate, Zagara restaurant is a unique expression of place, with a menu that revels in the flavours and ingredients of the Mediterranean, from the local catch of the day, served with homegrown braised fennel and citrus, to "Spaghettoni" with shrimp from Sciacca, zucchini leaves, and lemon.
Dine on the outdoor terrace at Zagara or in our lively restaurant.
