‘Everyone in Southern Italy knows about cooking; it’s a way of life!’

ANTONIO SALVATORE ’s earliest memories take place in the beautiful medieval hamlet of Guardia Perticara. More specifically his family kitchen and garden. Each meal was handmade with fresh ingredients, herbs and tomatoes from the garden. He grew up with not just an appreciation for cooking but for the cultivation of fresh produce. It is this holistic approach to cooking that he brings today to the kitchens of Rampoldi and La Table d’Antonio Salvatore at Rampoldi in Monte Carlo. With its emphasis on the very best regional produce and beautiful ingredients, Salvatore stays true to his Southern Italian roots and brings the best of the best in New York City.
