Every year during the “Festa a Vico” there is a lunch created by the young Italian chefs. This is what they created this year. Most dishes were good/very good, two were exceptional. But to judge the chefs with all the honesty one should visit their restaurant and try more than one dish. So this below is not a judgement of the chefs but only of that single moment and we all know this is relative. So congratulations to all!
