The sign in front of Giovanni Scaraggi’s restaurant in Lachania, on Rhodes. His friend Alessandro Proietti Refrigeri, whom he met at Noma, is supporting him in creating the culinary offer
Everything started at Noma: something one happens to say more and more often, even in Italy, given that many Italian cooks at some point spend at least a few months in the kitchen of René Redzepi’s super-restaurant. Sometimes people meet there, get to know each other, and later meet again and work together elsewhere.
In this case this applies to Alessandro Proietti Refrigeri – born in 1988, two years spent with Redzepi, then at La Pergola in Rome with Heinz Beck, and later with the Aloe brothers working as the coordinator of all the Berberè restaurants – and Giovanni Scaraggi – who completed a 3-month internship at Noma, and then moved to Greece to acquire more experience, the most significant of which was at Nobu in Athens.
