THE CREW
It is thanks to the teamwork that the guests’ stay at La Leggenda dei Frati becomes a memorable experience. Filippo Saporito and Ombretta Giovannini have chosen to build a close-knit team, a family with which to share a common vision and in which to grow and enhance the characteristics of each.
JENSON NILAPPANA JOSEPH
Restaurant Director
He welcomes our guests upon their first arrival. Like a conductor, he coordinates the restaurant brigade with care and attention. He has an in-depth and boundless knowledge of wine and raw materials and is an essential element of La Leggenda dei Frati, he is the one who acts as an agreement between each member.
“This is not a job, it is a passion. It asks a lot and gives a lot. It would be impossible to do this work without the heart”.
DARIO MESSINA
Chef de Cuisine
Cooking is a pure love that comes from the secrets of family recipes and grows with the discovery of raw materials and Italian traditions. There has been a lot of small steps made with sacrifice and commitment on his way to a Michelin starred kitchen.
“Here I have learned to appreciate even more the refinement of details and the flavors that make the difference”.
