DI FAZIO

Contemporary osteria opened in 2015 behind the Agro Pontino Museum, now a Michelin-starred restaurant. Fabio Verrelli D'Amico in the kitchen, Sara Checchelani front of house. Twenty images from several shoot days: plates at the pass, hands, the garden and the team.

Not client work. A romanesco shot against the light, to see how far the geometry of a vegetable can hold a frame on its own — no plate, no laid table.

Via Torre Pani, in the Lepini mountains above Sezze: a farmhouse with the old tower it takes its name from behind it, hand-drawn and signed in blue on the sign. «Walk slowly and leave light footprints» is how it introduces itself, and in the kitchen that means a short menu, woods a few steps away and a truffle that every so often is found by a dog. Five frames shot between the trees and the dining room: the dish served on the moss-covered rock was born there.

In the old heart of Priverno, inside the medieval undercroft of a thirteenth-century church. Fifteen tables, Lorenzo Palladini in the kitchen and his brother Simone in the dining room. Nine images, portraits and plates, for a project covered by Identità Golose, Gambero Rosso and James Magazine.

Quique Dacosta's restaurant in central València, opened in January 2026 as the evolution of El Poblet, with Carolina Álvarez in the kitchen. Five plate and dining-room images in artificial light.

Four tables only, in the Ruzafa quarter. Signed by Carito Lourenço and Germán Carrizo, Argentinians trained inside the Quique Dacosta group. Two frames in deep chiaroscuro — which is how the room actually looks when you are sitting in it.

Contemporary pizza on the Appian Way, just outside Latina: long-fermented dough baked in the pan.
