The story
In the heart of Rovato, Al Malò – Cucina e Miscelazione offers a dining experience defined by technique, research, and a strong sense of identity. Chef Mauro Zacchetti leads the kitchen with a vision that balances the local territory with a spirit of continuous evolution. The restaurant’s recognition by the Guida Michelin, along with nods from Gambero Rosso and Identità Golose, speaks to a kitchen that is both contemporary and deeply personal.
The menu is structured around three distinct tasting paths, each with its own character. Ardente is born from the grill, focusing on the power and purity of flame. Traccia gathers the signature dishes that have marked a turning point in the chef’s career. Istinto represents the fullest expression of Zacchetti’s creativity, where he pushes boundaries with a blend of Italian contemporary, Asian, and Malaysian influences. Dishes like the open ravioli with guinea fowl, ginger, and spring onion, or the millefoglie with tobacco, peated whisky, and caramel, hint at the kitchen’s confident, cross-cultural approach.
The cocktail bar is an integral part of the experience, reinforcing the restaurant’s name—Cucina e Miscelazione (Cuisine and Mixology). The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, designed for those who seek authenticity and narrative in every plate. Al Malò is not just a meal; it is a space where Italian contemporary cuisine meets the bold flavors of Asia and Malaysia, all within a setting that surprises and engages the senses.
