Un viaggio sensoriale del genere va fatto almeno una volta nella vita e capire ed amare questo posto. Davvero unico.

Kresios, under the creative vision of chef Giuseppe Iannotti, is not simply a restaurant: it is an immersive experience, a journey that blurs the boundaries between haute cuisine and cinematic storytelling. The unique menu, “Mr. Brown”, explicitly recalls Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, and as in the famous film, here too nothing is left to chance. Each dish is a chapter, each interaction a frame, and every detail seems deliberately designed to confuse and fascinate the customer. Just like in a Tarantino scene, in which tight and ambiguous dialogues hide deeper meanings, the service alternates moments of rigid formality with sudden incursions of lightness and sympathy, creating an atmosphere in which it is difficult to understand where the game ends and reality begins . Like Mr. White and Mr. Pink who lively discuss the roles to play, the waiters also seem to move between the rules of large-scale catering and a more relaxed, almost provocative attitude. This duality helps to keep the narrative tension of the dinner high, in which the spectator - sorry, the customer - never knows exactly what to expect. The gastronomic journey develops in a series of technically impeccable dishes, although not without food for thought. Among the appetizers, crispy chicken with potatoes emerges as a dish that, despite its simplicity, manages to surprise with the perfect balance between textures and flavors. Similarly, the "Raffaello" of foie gras is a small masterpiece of elegance, which contains all the luxury and refinement of Iannotti's cuisine in one bite. However, not all dishes are perfectly successful. The courgette tagliolini seems almost out of place, like a scene that doesn't fit perfectly into the rhythm of the film. The flat flavor and unappealing texture make it a dissonant element compared to the general craftsmanship of the menu. The first courses, however, offer memorable moments. The pasta with cheese, while recalling a childish and reassuring dish, is interpreted with such technical precision that it leaves its mark, while the spaghetti with seafood is an explosion of marine flavours, intense and enveloping, like an unexpected narrative climax. The second courses, although tasty, have some excess. Some preparations appear a little too rich, almost as if the scene had expanded too much, partially losing the tension necessary to keep the audience's attention alive. Serving temperatures haven't always been flawless either, a detail that, like imprecise assembly, can distract from the overall experience. Finally, the violet dessert is a closing that can divide. If on the one hand we appreciate the boldness of the choice, on the other the flavor evokes nostalgic sensations that are not always pleasant, a childhood memory that may not meet everyone's taste. However, it is impossible not to recognize the perfection of its consistencies, exceptional and almost epic, which elevate this dessert to a very high technical level. A bit like Tarantino's films: bold, surprising, capable of surprising, but not for all palates. The small pastry shop, with its playful presentation, winks at the irony that pervades the entire experience at Kresios. Although not memorable in terms of taste, it manages to raise a smile, ending the meal on a light and fun note. Ultimately, dining at Kresios is an experience that challenges expectations, where the tension between form and substance is constant, and where you are aware of being part of a bigger game. Chef Iannotti manages to orchestrate everything with mastery, transforming the dinner into a real narrative act. Maybe not everything is perfect, and some moments seem deliberately out of register, but this is part of the charm of a restaurant that is not content to follow the rules, but prefers to write its own

Very refined restaurant surrounded by an olive grove. Innovative cuisine with refined aromas and taste. The suggestions coming from Asian cuisine are very interesting. Very nice and attentive service. Excellent wine list.

Dined here with some friends and had an amazing experience. There are many very special personal touches from the chef and his life seen through the music, plating, decor, and of course food. I loved the dishes that were inspired by the memories of his childhood. The service is excellent. There is an open kitchen and I can see the chefs are very dedicated and passionate about their work. Wait staff is so nice and attentive. I forgot my purse in the restroom and they were so nice to stay open later and meet me so I can retrieve it!

Locale accogliente, minimal, con ampia cantina. Personale impeccabile, educato, gentile, informale ma professionale. I pochi tavoli permettono loro di seguire i clienti alla perfezione. Unico menù “ Mister Brown” spettacolare con innumerevoli portate in sequenza veloce ma non eccessiva. La prima parte snack da mangiare con le mani, poi i secondi di carne e pesce, poi i primi e infine il dolce e la piccola pasticceria. Tutte le portate molto particolari, con un impiattamento originale, ingredienti gustosi e abbinamenti stravaganti.
