Cocoa Symphony

  • Events
  • Food and drink

Step into this pop-up event where culinary art and creativity meet in perfect harmony.

Cocoa Symphony is a one-of-a-kind dining experience, where cocoa takes centre stage as the main artist.
Guiding this flavour journey are two exceptional talents:
- Marco Dazzan: Celebrated for his refined approach to Italian fine dining, Marco transforms cocoa into elegant plates that balance sophistication with warmth.
- Alessandro Luppolo: Known for his innovative chocolate making, Alessandro brings imagination and precision to every dessert, pushing cocoa into new, unexpected dimensions.

Together, they create a multi-course menu that tells a story of passion, artistry and flavour. An unforgettable experience where cocoa becomes music for the palate.
