Behind the Menu: The Story of Don Alfonso 1890's Culinary Evolution for 2024 and Beyond

????? Let me tell you about a recent culinary adventure that had my taste buds dancing and my eco-conscious heart singing. I had the absolute pleasure of dining at the legendary Don Alfonso 1890, nestled in the stunning Campania region near Sorrento. Picture this: a restaurant that's not just about exquisite dining but also champions sustainability and a healthier planet. Yes, please!

For those who might not know, Don Alfonso 1890 isn't just any restaurant. It's a place where tradition meets innovation, especially after its significant facelift aimed at embracing sustainability. I've been a fan since 2011 (time flies when you're eating great food!), and let me tell you, the excitement of exploring Chef Ernesto Iaccarino's menu never gets old. This Spring 2024 visit was no exception, and boy, was I ready to dive into the culinary treasures Chef Iaccarino had in store.

This time around, I went for the "La Degustazione" menu, a gastronomic journey that promised to tantalize my senses with both revamped signature dishes and thrilling new additions. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! ?? From the first bite to the last, it was a symphony of flavors that perfectly encapsulated the essence of the region, all while keeping sustainability at its core. Plus, I had the chance to sit down with Chef Iaccarino himself for a chat about his inspirations and goals for the menu. I've shared our conversation on my social media platforms in video format, so feel free to check them out- (links are bleow) and dive deeper into the delicious world of Don Alfonso 1890. Trust me, it's a journey worth taking! ???????
