New team in the Restaurant Gusto

Frankfurt, 6th October (cb) The Restaurant Gusto in the Villa Kennedy is proud to present not only a new four-course-menu but also three new team members;

The new chef de cuisine Dario Cammarata, F&B Manager Dario Pithard and Restaurant Manager Vito Vitale are now in charge for the gastronomic satisfaction of the guests at the Villa Kennedy.

Dario Cammarata has already worked in prestigious restaurants like the Michelin starred “Erno’s Bistro”, the Park Hotel in Bremen as well as the Badrutt’s Palace Hotel in St. Moritz.  Now he has come to the Villa Kennedy as the chef de cuisine of the restaurant Gusto.  Dario Cammarata, a native of Sicily, likes to describe his cuisine as: “an ensemble of colours, tradition and creativity…”

Dario Pithard the new F&B Manager, has worked for a total of six years in the Ritz Carlton in Berlin, as well as the Ritz Carlton Wolfsburg.  In his new role as F&B Manager he is in charge of more than 45 employees and control of the JFK Bar and Lounge, the restaurant Gusto and the banquet department.

Vito Vitale, the new Restaurant Manager is also a native of Sicily living in Frankfurt for several years, has previously worked in the restaurant Lucullus in Kronberg and also in the restaurant Senso e Vita.  He is looking forward to welcoming guests in the restaurant Gusto.

Another innovation is the monthly changing four-course-menu “Ispirazione” that distinguishes itself through the key ingredients as for example Alba Truffles, goose or scallops. The major part of the ingredients is directly imported from Italy.  In the month of October, the first month of the innovative menu, the focus will be on scallops as well as chosen wines, whereby the chef de cuisine will be inspired by the seasonal ingredients in the months to follow.

The Wine list not only offers the well-known Italian wines like Ornellaia, but also wines from the new, pioneering wine-growing regions in Sicily, Sardinia, Puglia and Umbria.

The signature of the new team also reappears in the creatively designed menu: starters á la carte can be chosen from “cool it down” or “like it lukewarm” to “keep it crisp” or “fluid creations”.  Main courses like “Monkfish with lemon risotto” or “Calf’s Liver served with poached quail egg” can be selected in the “Main Stage”. “La Dolce Vita” lists the variation of delicious deserts …
