Ischia's Botania Relais & Spa elevates vegetarian cuisine

Chef Tommaso Luongo is elevating vegetarian and vegan cuisine at the Botania Relais & Spa in Ischia. His culinary approach focuses on making plant-based dishes flavorful and engaging rather than mere substitutes.

Luongo utilizes diverse techniques and local ingredients to create complex amuse-bouche, such as cereal chips with fig jam, lentil tacos, and Korean-style pancakes filled with fermented cabbage and peanut butter. His menu emphasizes vibrant colors, varied textures, and the use of aromatic herbs found in the surrounding environment.
