Matter as Language
The CUISINE
Orto’s cuisine works on transformation.
Each ingredient is observed, taken beyond its usual form.
Matter can become transparency, density, acidity, bitterness, black, flower, memory, depending on the case.
The dish, therefore, does not seek effect
But depth.
The MATTER
Vegetables, roots, leaves, grains, fish, meats, herbs, fruit, wild ingredients.
The raw material may be sourced locally, yet it is not chosen to tell the story of a territory,
but for what it can become.
Unexpected textures
Flavors that linger
Forms that transform the perception of the ingredient.
Matter is a starting point
Transformation its language
Invisible TECHNIQUE
Orto’s research is precise, yet it does not flaunt technique
Fermentations, oxidations, extractions, cooking methods, textures and temperatures are not stylistic exercises. They are tools to alter the perception of the ingredient.
Complexity exists, without weighing down.
It arrives as depth, pleasure, discovery
Fabrizio Tucci
Fabrizio Tucci, executive chef of Orto
He brings to the project a precise, profound, material cuisine, built on the boundary between technique and sensitivity. In his work, memory and transformation coexist: a simple, wild or marginal ingredient can change state and find a new voice. Today he leads Orto through a more intimate, essential and unconventional phase
The Gastronomic Direction
Orto was born from the vision of chef Cinzia Mancini, creator of the project, who preserves its creative soul, charting the conceptual direction of the menu and the gastronomic identity of the restaurant. Her vision shapes a language made of living matter, seasons, memory and continuous exploration. In the hands of Fabrizio Tucci this vision takes form: an essential and intense cuisine, capable of transforming each ingredient into a delicate, authentic and contemporary story.
