A small preview of the menu: cannoli with ricotta cheese, lentils with dried apricots, white chocolate soup with coffee, capocollo Cinta Senese ham, duck foie gras and a ratte french potatoes soft dish. Maccari’s culinary passion started in her childhood, thanks to both her mother and grandmother strict connection with her. Starting in 2003 with Villa Patriarca, the family business, Katia’s passion transformed into love, making her the culinary artist she is today. From her 3 children -Valerio, Matilde e Pietro- Katia learned that dishes are simply good, or bad.
Palazzo Parigi Hotel & Grand Spa it is a corner of elegance in Brera, Milan. French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon and Italian architect Giambelli created both the space as a continuous connection between Milan and Paris. The decor of the 65 rooms, 33 suites and community spaces all express the life of this playful contrast between the two fashionable cities. The restaurant faces the enviable, private winter garden and will be Katia’s stage for the holidays.
