Defined as ‘the man who whispers to the anchovies’, as well as the creator of the Genovese tuna, Pasquale Torrente narrates his culinary philosophy, retracing the fundamental moments of his life and remembering with great emotion the people who brought him into this world, leaving an indelible sign on him.
Each dish, he brings to the table at Casa Torrente, is the result of tradition, innovation and study.
The chef explains how, during the time, this 17th-century cloister preserves the soul, the family bond, while at the same time not being afraid to invest in new technologies that respect the environment. The focus of all his work remains on the raw material and the promotion of typical local products.
