Reviewers consistently praise the Mela, a deceptively simple apple dish that redefines the ingredient. The overall vibe is one of quiet, sophisticated surprise, turning humble produce into an artful revelation.
“The apple is juicy and well made. The apple pieces are very good, the mousse is good, and you can always taste the crunch. The chocolate is softer now because we waited too long to film.”

Dishes mentioned
Pera
The pear is really beautiful inside, with actual fruit pieces inside. It's crunchy and delicious.
Fava di Cacao
I can't say I've ever tried cacao bean before, but this one is very good. There's a very interesting chocolate mousse inside, with crunchy chocolate pieces. Really good.
Lampone
The raspberry is beautiful visually. It's good, but not my favorite. It's okay.
Mela
The apple is juicy and well made. The apple pieces are very good, the mousse is good, and you can always taste the crunch. The chocolate is softer now because we waited too long to film.
Cocco
This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing ones. Very beautiful. It tastes like coconut, with a nice aftertaste. Very good.
