Chef Vera, from Lago di Garda (IT), was already called “Vera Pasticcera” at two years old, when she started creating dishes with Mamma. She later expanded her skills thanks to hotel school, the haute cuisine academy and her experiences in reputable Italian restaurants. Her cooking philosophy? Right in between tradition and innovation, as she believes that being revolutionary is more about keeping it simple rather than making things complicated, slowing down rather than speeding up.

 

Born in Biel (CH), our Chef Danilo, grew up in southern Italy and managed to gain various experiences in multiple restaurants around Europe. A true free spirit, who masters all the different cuisines and combines his roots with his skills. His mission is to create an authentic, simple but never dull cuisine, resembling his true self.

​

Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a go-getter mindset, Brando moved from Italy to the Netherlands to pursue a study in International Business Administration. After having spent half a year in South Korea, he worked for the next two years as a B2B Sales Manager for a hotel with 16 locations around Europe.

​

Celine who grew up in California and Aargau (CH), after having seen the whole world working as a flight attendant, decided to pursue a study in Tourism in The Netherlands where she lived for four years. Having developed a passion for people, different cultures and the hospitality industry, she worked as a Community & Event Manager in Rotterdam for two years, where she met Brando, Vera’s brother.

 

After all our diverse experiences, we came together to create something beautiful. With our different passions and backgrounds, we want to make your experience here an unforgettable one.

 

Salotto is a lot of passion, quality & family!
