“Modernity has failed.
We ought to build a new humanism
if the world is to survive.”
Albert Einstein

We believe tradition is more important than form.
Out of context and eradicated from his historical roots, food has no meaning. No matter how well presented, it becomes nothing but mere nutrient.

Thus, all senses must be exercised, memory nourished, memories shared.

Polenta, as simple as it may be, can be a chef’s masterpiece. Sought-after “bramata” flour from the northern Italian planes, esoteric Mediterranean Sea salt harvested off the coast of Sicily, pure spring water from the Alps highest peaks.

Or, it could be a family portrait. The crackling wood-fired stove, the tangy scent of roasting orange peels. My mother panting in the heat, slowly stirring the pot; my defiant sister drawing faces on the frosted window condense.

Unperceivable memories, which I will forever cherish every time I have a simple slice of polenta.

In the end, being able to bring this much to your table, is what makes our day, here at Tigelleria Restaurant, worthwhile.
