OF the most popular cuisines in the world, nothing is as well loved as Italian food. Its use of fresh ingredients, the simple cooking techniques, and natural flavors make it one of the healthiest.
It wasn’t surprising that the dinner hosted by Italian Ambassador Massimo Roscigno was one of the well-attended events in Smart Infinity’s Culinary Journey series.

Roscigno, his wife Agnes and their daughter Ursula opened the doors of their well-appointed home to Manila’s crème de la crème. And who would want to miss a chance to sample delicious Italian cooking when it is especially prepared by L’Opera Ristorante? The entire dinner, from appetizer to dessert, was especially designed by restaurant owner and Chef Paolo Nesi. In fact, he even created a decadent dessert of chocolate and amaretto flan with fresh cream and named it Il Dolce di Ursula.
