An Experience
We were founded in 2021 with a vision to bring the unique tastes and vibes of Italy to Sri Lanka, all with a focus on using locally-sourced ingredients.
Meet Our Chef
As a Sri Lankan chef, I can provide a unique perspective on the differences between Italian cuisine and our own Sri Lankan cuisine. Here are some points to consider:
Flavor Profiles: Sri Lankan cuisine is known for its bold, spicy, and vibrant flavors. We use a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and chili, to create complex and aromatic dishes. Italian cuisine, on the other hand, often focuses on balancing flavors with subtler herb and seasoning combinations.
Rice vs. Pasta: Rice is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine, and we have a wide array of rice-based dishes, including fragrant biryanis, rice and curry, and hoppers (a type of pancake made from fermented rice flour). In Italian cuisine, pasta takes center stage, with numerous shapes and varieties used to create different dishes.

Local Farm-to-Table
"Farm-to-table" refers to a culinary movement and philosophy that emphasizes sourcing ingredients directly from local farms and producers, with the aim of promoting freshness, sustainability, and supporting local economies. In the context of Sri Lanka, a local farm-to-table approach would involve utilizing the abundant agricultural resources available within the country to create dishes that showcase the freshest and most seasonal produce. Sri Lanka is blessed with fertile land, diverse microclimates, and a rich agricultural heritage. As a result, the country produces a wide range of fruits, vegetables, spices, grains, and seafood. Embracing a farm-to-table concept in Sri Lankan cuisine would involve chefs and restaurants building relationships with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans to source their ingredients directly.
