Maggese Restaurant
Maggese in as agricultural spontaneous cuisine restaurant, opened on 11 March 2019 in San Miniato, homeland to the chef Fabrizio Marino. The term “Maggese” (fallow land) recalls the agricultural technique of resting the soil to prepare the land before sowing. A maggese field appears wild, full of flowers and spontaneous beneficial herbs we can feed on, an amazing view of an enchanting landscape. Maggese recalls rest, quiet, contemplation and cyclicity. For this reason the symbol of the restaurant is the “enso”, which is the free hand drown circle realised by a Japanese brush on rice paper.
In San Miniato, chef Fabrizio Marino finds the potential in the relationships with virtuous young farmers, who offer authentic and biological products, sometimes rare or forgotten in the last years. It is for this reason that the restaurant opens right here in San Miniato, after years of experience in Europe and in the East: the restaurant finds a big success since the very beginning, even though vegetarian cuisine was not very known.È per questo che il lancio del suo primo ristorante avviene proprio a San
Miniato, dopo anni di esperienze tra Europa e Oriente: qui il format prende
forma e riscontra fin da subito un grande successo, nonostante l'allora poca
conoscenza della cucina vegetariana.
The cuisine is the result of a deep research of techniques and philosophies with the aim of creating a wide experience, that starts from the direct contact with the land and its rhythms, colours and feelings, to reach the beauty of life through food. Fabrizio Marino proposes a fun, rhythmic, playful cuisine through the mixing of far traditions and modernity. Seasons multiply, divided in the micro-cycles of agriculture. The dishes combine an elevate simplicity with unexpected flavours, in a vivid blend of shapes, consistencies and recipes.
