Two masters, three rounds, thirty ingredients, one winner… or maybe not.
In the picturesque scenery of Portofino, Davide Galbiati, executive chef at DaV Mare, and Paolo Gastaldo, bar manager at Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, challenge each other for a tasting experience that transcends culinary traditions and takes inspiration from local products and the charming Ligurian landscape.
Portofino Piazzetta - Round 1:
On one side basil, chive, and caviar spaghetti, on the other Negroni La Vela - featuring pine nut vermouth, bitter, local amaro, and Portofino Dry Gin.
Casa Montefino - Round 2:
Tuna carpaccio with citrus fruits, pine nuts and local herbs versus Montefino Sour - citrus liqueur, lemon juice, agave nectar and Portofino Dry Gin.
Bagni Fiore - Round 3:

Who will best capture Portofino's essence in every sip and bite? Impossible to pick… it’s a tie!
