Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is excited to announce the arrival of the two Michelin-star Chef Nino Di Costanzo, who will present an artistic Italian journey at Grissini for three nights only, from 9 to 11 March 2017.
Known in the culinary world as a “silent artist” and the ambassador and grand chef of Relais & Châteaux, Chef Di Costanzo is the owner-chef of Danì Maison on Ischia, the volcanic island where he was born. The multi-starred chef obtained two Michelin stars for Ristorante Il Mosaico within two years, followed by another two Michelin stars for his own restaurant – Danì Maison – just four months after the grand opening. With his indescribable talent, he has designed his restaurant as a “home with open kitchen” with a garden featuring different types of flowers and herbs in front of the house, to invite guests on an invaluable and artistic Italian journey at his “house”.
Five years ago, our Chef de Cuisine Alessandro Cozzolino of Grissini worked with Chef Di Costanzo in a two Michelin-star restaurant on Ischia, Ristorante Il Mosaico, which was when Chef Cozzolino began to truly admire and respect Chef Di Costanzo’s culinary philosophies: study, research, devotion, dedication and passion.
“I am eager and excited to host the talented master of the culinary arts, Chef Di Costanzo, to indulge the diners of Hong Kong and invite them to use their five senses to explore and experience his simple yet sophisticated Italian masterpieces, especially his creativity in every single dish,” said Chef Cozzolino.
In an artful collaboration, Chef Di Costanzo will present signature dishes that express his philosophy and five fundamentals. Slowly perfecting his delicate craft since he was 11 years old, Chef Di Costanzo’s extraordinary culinary journeys are based on his personal selection of raw ingredients.
Chef Di Costanzo’s exquisite six-course menu will include:
Gambero Rosso Al Mandarino, Ricotta, Frisella
This refreshing and sweet appetiser features fresh red prawns, organic seasonal mandarins from Ischia, ricotta cheese and frisella, creating an enticing experience with its combination of seafood and fruit.
Quaglia, Scampi, Ceci
A quail breast and leg is slow-cooked with scampi and chickpeas, offering a tender texture.
Risotto Napoletano Alla Carbonara
This creative dish is actually a type of pasta called orzo, with the flavour being very similar to carbonara with smoked bacon.
Doppio Tortello Di Manzo E Provola
Fresh tortelli filled with beef and provola cheese, offering a creamy texture that is full of flavour.
Agnello In Parmigiana Di Melanzane
The lamb is sealed with different types of herbs and pre-cooked for two days to absorb all the flavours of the ingredients, then combined with eggplant parmigiana and cheese. The presentation will also be paired with a bite-size escarole pizza.
Mousse Ai Tre Cioccolati, Sorbetto Al Passion Fruit
To end the artistic Italian journey with a memorable experience, this dessert includes a three-chocolate mousse with passion fruit sorbet.
