The Fratelli Desideri idea:

With the box "A Starry Dinner" we offer the opportunity to chiuque to be able to taste the contemporary masterpieces of the greatest Italian starred chefs in the intimacy of their own home, with people who love each other, in an informal, warm, so exquisitely Italian.

The dish:

One of the most famous and iconic dishes created by Marchesi is the Risotto "Rice, gold and saffron", which was born in the early eighties, between 1981 and 1982. This dish has become famous all over the world and is admired not only for its extraordinary taste but also for its unique presentation.

The distinctive element of this risotto is the gold leaf that covers it, emphasizing its uniqueness and luxury. What makes it even more special is the way it is consumed: not with a fork, but with a spoon. This gesture underlines Marchesi's attention to the sensory experience and the value of the dish.
