Essence
In the historic center of Terracina, the cuisine of Simone
Nardoni shines on the table at his restaurant Essenza.
A reference point for gourmands in the area, Essenza invites diners to a location characterized by a design
cured and elegant in symbiosis with a service that is first
of all welcoming.
The guest here lives afood and wine experience
that starts from the territory, respecting local
products and their seasonality, and aims at substance and taste, without ever putting the customer's point of view in the background.
Drops of Excellence
Chef
Simone Nardoni
Chefs Alessandro and Valerio Testa, were born in the heart of Centocelle, and here they have returned after gaining experience in a number of excellent establishments. Their story, that of two brothers with one passion, catering, is an example of growth and success.
Purity and Taste
The Menu
No fads, no trends, no constraints to territory and tradition. The only
real fil rouge is quality, arm in arm on the one hand with respect for seasonality and the product, and on the other with the desire to express, tell, amaze and
satisfy.
The criterion that marks the transition from inspiration to the actual
realization of a dish is the same one that gives the restaurant its name: telling
the Essence of a taste, without overdoing it, without bringing ingredients to the plate that are not
necessary.
The ingredient is always the protagonist and as such should be enhanced for its
characteristics.
Purity and Taste
The Restaurant
A cuisine that can be described as "neoclassical" and exceedingly personal, which does not set geographical boundaries but always privileges the ingredient, both in terms of quality and the personal and empathetic relationship with the producer who makes it.
The Essenza restaurant now boasts a Michelin star earned in 2021.
Chef-patron Simone Nardoni is also a member of JRE - Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe.
