Chef Alessandro Reina

About Chef

Alessandro comes from San Giovanni Gemini - a small town in Sicily. He studied engineering at the University of Palermo. He started to cook during his studies. It was impossible before because his mother would not let anyone in the kitchen! Then he discovered a passion for cooking and good food. He believes that food is a form of art that affects all senses, beginning with the sense of sight. That's why the presentation of dishes is really important to him. Visual impressions and expectations are the fundamental ingredients of a dish. Of course, these impressions must be complemented with an exceptional taste to satisfy the palate. He likes the most to create new dishes by combining the ingredients of Polish and Italian cuisine. The kitchen is where he becomes very creative, it's like a laboratory for him, where his creativity is released.

I definitely recommend Chef Alessandro! Very good organization of work, great sense of humor, the ability to introduce a good atmosphere and, above all, tasty dishes! The chef is very talented and skillfully combines different cuisines. The dishes were delicious, everyone liked them and they were surprising (e.g. goat cheese pan cotta). The party operated by Chef was a family event and Chef fit in perfectly with the atmosphere. In addition, he was a lot and willing to talk to guests and for a moment he became like a family member;) I recommend it heartily and thank you again!

A very committed and talented boss. Natural charisma and openness will make culinary and empirical intercourse much more attractive. Very tasty dishes, well-composed menu. Everything in time and warm, even though our group consisted of 15 people 😊

Delicious food, served efficiently and quickly, a nice atmosphere, and in addition the chef speaks excellent English, so he worked perfectly in an international company. I recommend!

Alessandro brings a Sicilian atmosphere to the party. Both the taste and the warmth of the Sicilian sun that flows with his passion for cooking and his heart towards people. His Italian accent when he speaks Polish adds to the charm when he talks about food. It authenticates what it says about Italian cuisine. Inviting Alessandro home is like teleporting to Sicily.

Because they're cool guys. Atmosphere! And the fact that I could see with my own eyes how cool the concept is.

Stefano made a great duo with Alessandro Reina! This is a real attraction - the chefs not only cook well, but also communicate fluently in English, as well as a little Polish. Great taste and atmosphere of the evening!

A very interesting composition of flavors. Comments: some dishes were cold and the lamb was too firm.

Kasia (8 October 2015)

Good, simple Italian cuisine. However, some of the dishes were cold, long waiting times for a chef's menu for a previously known number of guests.

An interesting form and method of preparing dishes. I liked the way the dishes were presented. There were delicate bits of history emerging. Personally, I prefer more stories about a given dish: who, what and why :))

Natalia (8 October 2015)

The dishes were very tasty, but the fact that not all of them reached the table warm reduced their taste. Overall the atmosphere was great. Chefs were communicative, very nice in touch. I liked the fact that as a host I was able to take care of the guests, not the cooking.

The first dish certainly did not taste good when it was served slightly chilled. In the case of such noble meat as lamb, do they really need to be "covered" with a very dominant gorgonzola sauce? Apart from minor reservations, it is very tasty and aesthetically pleasing. Great pancetta and parmesan chips, lovely ravioli. The taste and aesthetics of the dishes, quite good communication with the guests, just right balanced - without focusing too much attention on the chefs, giving the guests a perfect feeling of communing with each other. It seems that the gentlemen could communicate a bit more what and what they are preparing, sometimes throw an anecdote or curiosities about dishes or culinary customs from the regions where they come from, maybe some kitchen tricks. So that, after all, they will be a bit more memorable than the dishes they served :)
