Dishes mentioned
Frutta Realistica al Mandarino
If I closed my eyes, I'd say I'm eating a mandarin. The creaminess is incredible — it's pure fruit pulp. The sweetness is 100% natural. I can't find adjectives to explain the taste.
Frutta Realistica al Cocco con Ananas e Mango
This one has coconut cream, pieces of pineapple, and a celestial exotic caramel cream with fresh mango. Creating these details, these classic imperfections of fruit, this hyperrealism — you have to be the Caravaggio of desserts. Both get a very high score, but this is literally my favorite.
Rachide Gigante Dolce Salato
A giant rachis with a sweet-salty heart in three consistencies: creamy, soft and crunchy. €20 in Paris, only four in Sicily.
