Resident Chef Giacomo Amicucci, personally trained by Chef Romito, ensures the culinary vision is executed flawlessly daily.
Hōseki: A Nine-Seat Omakase Jewel
True to its name meaning "gemstone" in Japanese, Hōseki is an intimate, minimalist dining room with just nine seats at the counter. Here, sixth-generation sushi master Chef Masahiro Sugiyama crafts a unique omakase experience. Based on the finest ingredients flown in from Japan and the preferences of his guests, no two meals are alike. This exceptional culinary artistry has earned Hōseki one Michelin star and a place among The World's 50 Best Restaurants for the Middle East & North Africa.

Open from early morning until late at night, Il Caffè is the resort's vibrant heart. With a large deck terrace overlooking the Marina, it offers a perfect blend of Italian spirit and local culture. The menu features Mediterranean and Middle Eastern delicacies, including an all-day breakfast for in-house guests. A highlight is its collaboration with Rome's famed SEU Pizza Illuminati, serving chef Pier Daniele Seu's award-winning, handcrafted pizzas daily.
