Giovanni Bruno, the absolute devotion to great Italian cuisine.

Chance is never anything more than an opportunity for beautiful encounters. The day Giovanni Bruno laid eyes on the charming Petit Sablon square, he saw a kindred universe, a fertile stage. The happy steps he took towards this house are the ones we take today towards him.

Entering Senzanome means experiencing the beauty of the seasons, all the beautiful seasons, all those of Italy. It is embracing the colors of this country, perceiving its scents. The sun is there. It is walking on this land, diving into the vast abyss of a universe, under the sky of a country, with the soul of a region. It is falling. It is being there, at home, at Giovanni’s home.

His Italy has never been a demonstration; it has always taken us by the hand. Rather than confronting, it welcomes us as a neighbor, inviting us to share with open, wide-open hands. From his kitchen, this man manages to translate energy and boldness, finesse and talent, precision and love. And time.

Because Italian cuisine, which everyone agrees is sublime, is often mistreated. A "good Italian" is expected to make carbonara – preferably with cream, egg yolk, and Parmesan – and tiramisu. As a result, Italian cuisine has become somewhat frozen in time. Worse still, since it thrives on quality ingredients, feeling, and sensitivity, Italian gastronomy is often overlooked, as it requires infinite patience to master.

He, however, lives, knows, and masters the ingredients that define Italy. By infusing them with a rare creativity, he crafts a cuisine of absolute precision. An example of who he is, of what he does? That "simple" pasta dish that pierces straight through the heart of its creator: Spaghetti with three types of tomatoes and pecorino. A perfect balance between simplicity and technique, exceptional products and sensitivity, revealing a craft that offers nothing but love.

After just a few bites, it is tempting to summon superlatives. For so many reasons, they are well deserved: for the pleasure they bring in the moment, or even more so, for the consistency over the years. For the beautiful symphony the Maestro offers us, paying tribute along the way to Leonardo da Vinci’s words: "La semplicità è l'ultima sofisticazione."

As this creation melts on the tongue, it is no surprise that Senzanome is consistently ranked among the best Italian restaurants in the world.
Grande Giovanni.
