Momento

14th – 18th April | One sitting from 7pm | £65

Coming in hot with a salt kissed taste of the Ligurian coast are rising stars, Enrico Marmo and Jacopo Rosti.

The duo’s upcoming Bordighera opening, Momento, is big news in Italy. After starring in their own culinary buddy movie for near enough a decade at Castel Monastero, Osteria Arborina and most recently, Balzi Rossi, where the Michelin man came a-knocking, Enrico and Jacopo have developed an effortless, spontaneous style of their own that’s rooted in the simple pleasure of cooking for the love of it.

A stone’s skim from the sea, Momento will celebrate local Ligurian produce with a minimum of fuss. Think ‘Focaccia, Black Olive Crisps, Cuttlefish Lardo’; ‘Cod Pil Pil, Grilled Romaine Lettuce, Lemon Marmalade’; ‘Clams, Chargrilled Artichoke Oil, Parmesan Cream’; and ‘Rabbit “Liguria style”, Rabbit Jus, Castelfranco’.

As Enrico says, “I only know one way to cook. Naturalness always wins, with a little technique, experience, and burns from the pan on your arms”. Settle in for a week of stripped back contemporary Italian cooking at its unadulterated best.
