Many of the most important chefs in the world, during this difficult period of pandemic, have thought of basing their offer on the great classics, their signature dishes, those that made them famous. But this is not the path that Massimo follows nor of that of Osteria Francescana. Massimo is a champion, someone who sees a highway where others see a simple path. He created a concept menu dedicated to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the eighth Beatles album. With a little help from my friends, is also his tribute to his team from the Osteria. The journey starts with three small bon bons. The acidities and gradients recall flavors from the Italian Renaissance.  They span from beetroot to tzatziki and include the color yellow which is representative of that period.  A Day in the Life is represented with puffed bread knotted with honey from Casa Maria Luigia and salt crystals.  We continue with Yellow Submarine (turbot potatoes, pineapple, daikon, and flowers) to Strawberry Fields (Rice with strawberry gazpacho, lambrusco, scampi, smoked mozzarella and Sechuan pepper). We then come to We Are All Connected Under One Sky (ravioli, smoked pork belly, Goro clams and New England clam chowder) which is a wonderful dish. The service directed by Beppe Palmieri, is close-knit, full of energy, and careful to always make the guests feel at ease. Contemporary works of art and lots of energy will accompany your Franciscan meal if you have the patience to book early. You will be able to have a glimpse of the avant-garde and what the future has in store for us in terms of a dining experience. This chef can undoubtedly be considered one of the greatest Italian chefs of all time.
