Chef Taglienti’s offer is nowadays a skillful game between re-reading and contamination, intuitions that from North to South, alongside the skeleton of Italian flavors and not only that, cross five different and yet extraordinarily coherent kitchens: from the very pure avant-garde distinguished by poignant acidity, to the uncompromising classicism of the French bases and sauces, passing through the hunt, in order to arrive today to the rediscovery of the great Italian tradition and of great forgotten recipes, without overpassing the vegetables, the new protagonist for the present and future gastronomy.
MENU1
To provide to the vegetal world the importance of a main dish at the same level of a meat, a fish or a first course. An almost unedited language, developed as the protagonist of an entire menu: a path made seven central dishes, each of them represented by different declinations, created without rules and with the maximum contribution of spontaneity and creativity of the entire LUME’s brigade. The chance of moving a vegetable from its common place, to combine it through new harmonies, completely unusual and unexpected, giving it back its proper gastronomic dignity: this is our “new” avant – garde.

Italy is at the heart of everything today, Italy as the ultimate culinary mission and espression, Italy as the desire to convey, with excellence, the sensibility and ability to read the essence of terroir and raw material. “TAGLIENTI racconta TAGLIENTI” is my personal narrative, but it is also a game, a memory game, a succession of tastes and emotions, memories, perfumes, our cultural hinterland, our inheritage that finally meets evoution…‘à la Taglienti’.
