Merryl Fernandes

Andrea Fassi

"I dig my fork into the perfectly creamed pasta: the density of the sauce is balanced, creamy and tasty. The bacon melts like butter giving even more flavor to the dish. I'm distracted, the flavor is so strong that it fills the void of nostalgia I felt in the months I was away. I think of spices, of the multitude of dishes that I have tasted in the world and that I will continue to taste, but now I want to lose myself in a flavor that I have too often taken for granted."

Francesco Picerno
