The pop-up showcases Chef Massimiliano’s distinguished career, which began at age 15 when he left his hometown of Puglia to pursue his passion for pizza. His Turin restaurant, Sestogusto, has garnered numerous accolades, including Best Dessert Menu Award 2024 (50 TopPizza), Best Contemporary Pizza Award 2024 (Golosaria), and Special Creativity Award 2024 (Identità Golose).
Diners can expect novel pizza creations like the vibrant magenta “Barbabietola + Stellata” with beet-infused dough topped with yoghurt and marinated salmon, the visually striking black “Seppia + Nera” infused with squid ink, and the Barley infused crispy crust “Croccante Orzo + Vitello Tonnato Pizza”, paired with Vitello Tonnato (cold veal with tuna) sauce. The exclusive 9-course pizza degustation menu, priced at $158++ per person, concludes with a specially crafted “Zuppa Inglese” dessert, which is a trifle-like layered Italian dessert of mascarpone, custard gelato and Savoiardi lady fingers dipped in the scarlet spice-forward Alchermes Italian liqueur with coffee and chocolate. This sweet treat is specially crafted for this event by La Bottega Enoteca.
