Italian roots.
Personal signature.
Over 35 years in the kitchen, family tradition, Italian roots, and respect for quality ingredients. Richard brings experience to La Vita that can be tasted in every dish.
Italian cuisine is personal to him. Parma ham, Grana Padano, or mozzarella di bufala meet honest homemade cooking on his menu. Nothing superfluous. Focused on flavour.
