About

About me

Born in Calabria in a small farming town and raised in a Steinerian culture, I draw inspiration and strength from Nature. A forerunner of the "Sweet Revolution", Head Chef at Bottega Sana, ambassador of the Mediterranean Diet, Secretary General of the PhiMeK Association (Philosophy Mediterranean Kitchen) and creator of the Sana-tì Method.

A visionary with a "lateral view", holistic and energetic in approach and multidisciplinary in training, since 2010 I have brought High Nutrition (Nutrigenomics) to the table in a simple, indulgent and healthy way — in effect creating Cucina Funzionale Sostenibile (Sustainable Functional Cooking).

Dishes such as "Gioco al Piatto", "Uovo Magico" and the Rainbow Roll have become cult favourites among food lovers and among many young Italian and international guests who look for healthy, functional and eco-sustainable ideas.

I also work as a consultant and influencer for organisations and companies in the HoReCa, fitness and wellness, food and agri-industrial, retail, education and healthcare sectors, supporting their ecological transition.

My Philosophy

We are what we eat, and our future depends on how we will eat.

Food has never been so central to our personal and social attention, and yet that does not seem to be enough to solve the real problem. Today's food system creates health imbalances for both people and the planet.

I believe that complete, healthy, holistic and energetic diets — the ones that nourish Body, Mind and Spirit in harmony — come closest to our true primary needs.

With the Sana-tì Method I offer an honest and passionate contribution: a gastronomic experience that is good, healthy and fair, where People and Nature, Taste and Health are in perfect balance. A "climatarian" philosophy: good for us, good for the planet.

Sana-tì Method

Natural, Functional, Sustainable cooking. Intolerance free.

With the Sana-tì Method I reframed the idea of "good" in the kitchen through a holistic, energetic approach, showing that conscious eating can improve both our health and the health of the planet.

The core value: keeping every single cell alive and healthy. Selected seasonal, local ingredients from organic, eco-friendly farming, and cooking techniques that preserve nutrients, flavours and the value of each ingredient.

Every dish is a smart food designed around nutrigenomics: savoury without salt, sweet without sugar, satisfying with few calories, rooted in tradition yet gluten free and lactose free.

Great taste and real wellbeing, proven since 2010 by a community that grows every day.
