The restaurant operates on the principle of tapas, prepared with seasonal raw vegetables from April to mid-July, but also includes small prepared dishes with a Corsican touch, such as peppers stuffed with brocciu.
Culinary pleasure is delivered through daily products combined in a myriad of ways.
On the menu: A Casarella offers a suggestion of the day from April to July which then transforms into tapas of the day, such as bread with organic (non-hybrid) tomatoes from the garden, olive oil, and fleur de sel.
