No place like home

Fabulous food. Or a fairy tale that turns into food? The menu created by chef Marco Ambrosino and designer Odo Fioravanti is not a menu, it is a game, surreal, unusual, engaging: design and gastronomy together for a new version of the Wizard of Oz; dishes-recipes in which the dishes tell the recipes and the recipes support the dishes, an "acid" journey, as the two creatives call it, like Dorothy's, who eventually, after so many upheavals, brings you home. As only the 28Posti restaurant is capable of doing.

The surprises in the Darsena

Calendula, Mustard, Linen, Mallow and Coriander, the most attractive plants for bees in a temporary garden that mixes species, educational content and a schedule of activities related to the "Bee The Future" program, which wants to start from the land and agriculture through a three-year commitment to reforestation of 100 hectares in Italy with flowers loved by bees. "An intervention on an urban space to which they will connect – comments Andrea Guerra, Eataly executive president – the Eataly Turin vegetable garden and the Eataly Rome orchard: awareness-raising works on the issues of good agriculture and sustainability".
