Domenico

“Today everything is fast-paced, but the real secret in the kitchen is to turn around and look to the past”

Domenico Ruberto brings with him his origins and his way of being, straightforward and pragmatic, but with a world of emotions linked to the past.

A contemporary professional, he is not afraid to look back and take the time to develop an idea and transform it into a new dish. It is precisely through his gastronomic creations that Domenico speaks to us about himself and an inner world made up of fine things, memories, culinary discoveries and the teachings of the great fathers of cooking. “When I’m in the kitchen – says Domenico – I feel I can communicate without limits. I put all my passion and spirit into every dish that I cook. In life, each of us has a goal; mine is to convey emotions through my creations. I want to leave a positive impression in the memory of every person who tastes my dishes.”

With great devotion, he expresses his entire universe by playing with flavours and successfully creating an alchemy halfway between memory and avant-garde.

Always pursuing the essence of taste, with absolute respect for every single ingredient, it is he who chooses which producers to work with and who selects the best products throughout every season.

And it is precisely to Domenico that the unique philosophy of the Restaurant I Due Sud is linked, which pays homage to the Calabrian origins of the chef and his gourmet presence in Ticino.
