Quail with camomile and fennel, wild fennel, citrus sauce with citrus zest, a great dish by Gianluca Gorini, chef at Le Giare in Montiano, on the first hills of Rimini. Giacinto Rossetti, previously the soul behind creative laboratory Trigabolo (in Argenta, Ferrara), considers the cuisine of the of Paolo Lopriore’s young pupil a very talented one. Photographs of the dishes were taken by Lido Vannucchi
Consider a lunch with Giacinto Rossetti at Le Giare in Montiano, Romagna. He’s the last of the Pre-Raphaelites, the noble father of Italian restaurant tradition. More than the patron, he’s the soul behind what once was Trigabolo in Argenta (a missed chance for gastronomic renaissance, suffocated by Landsknecht), face to face with one of the most restless and adamant talents of the new generation: Gianluca Gorini. He’s as intransigent as his master Paolo Lopriore, by whose side he worked for three years at Certosa in Maggiano; suave as his cutting gestures in the air. He’s spare and darting, imponderable as he cuts the smoke over the casseroles. He’s an elf who, as of September, is been spinning beyond the windows over the first hills of Rimini, around the figure of the friendly Claudio Amadori, patron and architect of a restaurant that the play of contrasts puts on the road to success.
