The warmest welcome from the Canadian chef @jessrosval as you arrive at @casamarialuigia, the project of @laratgilmore and @massimobottura where art, design, nature and gastronomy come together in a beautifully restored farmhouse near Modena.
It is also the only place where you can now taste Osteria Francescana's all-time favourites (where Jessica has worked for over seven years) in a spacious top-ceiling dining room with communal tables which invite guests to share the food, listen to the stories behind each dish and enjoy the conversation.
The following morning a hearty, savoury breakfast awaits you to make sure you wake up every day with a smile.
Jessica’s relentless enthusiasm is also evident in her collaboration with the AIW project (Association for Integration of Women) and its co-working place/restaurant Roots, as culinary director, teaching young migrant women how to cook professionally so that they can be better prepared to find a good position in the restaurant industry in the future.
Good energy indeed.
