Grilled Veal Kidney with dijon Sorbet

Grilled Veal Kidney with Dijon Sorbet

“ Mamma Rita was really good. She was so good that she earned her first Michelin star at the “Le Calandre” restaurant in Rubano, near Padua in 1993. But then her son Massimiliano, who, after graduating from the hospitality school in Abano Terme and having already had his beautiful experience in French cuisine, upon returning to Italy in 1993, dedicated himself to the home restaurant with his brother Raffaele, who was destined to become a great restaurant manager.

As a result, in 1996, the second Michelin star arrived. I remember the emotion of the whole family when "Porta a porta" announced the arrival of the third star in 2002.
The Alajmo brothers are a perfect couple and they have proved it by restoring great style and great cuisine to the Quadri restaurant in Piazza San Marco in Venice. One of the most famous locales in the world finally brought back to the glories of its past. ”
