Sardinia at ACQUA!



Learn a few interesting facts about Sardinia while we are preparing for a week of Sardinian cuisine.
Located off the western coast of Italy, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean. Until it became a part of Italy in 1861, the island was occupied by nearly every Mediterranean power for more than 2,500 years. That’s why the distinctive flavors of Sardinian cuisine are not just Italian in origin but a hybrid of influences.
Sardinian cuisine is based only on natural products from the land and surrounding sea. Its secret lies in the quality of the ingredients and the simplicity of its dishes. There’s an expression in Sardo: Sa cuchina minore no timet su fuste―“Simple cuisine makes the home great.”
The best recipes are rustic, hearty, straightforward preparations.
 
Only from September 17th to 23rd you have a unique opportunity to taste a flavor of Sardinia at ACQUA in an interpretation of our Executive Chef Ivan Beacco.
