The story

I Tenerumi – Therasia Resort: Plant-Based Dining on Vulcano

A Garden at the Edge of the Sea

At I Tenerumi in Vulcano, chef Davide Guidara serves an inventive vegetable cuisine that honors the nearby Lipari islands. Guests dine on a quiet lawn where the night sky and surrounding waters frame each course. The resort positions this outdoor space to keep diners in direct contact with the local ecosystem.

The Chef’s Manifesto

Guidara approaches every dish through what he calls a manifesto for new vegetable cooking. He pairs traditional Sicilian ingredients with precise international techniques to highlight textures often overlooked. The tasting menu guides visitors through a complete dining experience. Roasted onions rest beside charred cardoncello mushrooms, while lentils meet black pepper and bay leaf in quiet harmony.

Roots and Resonance

The resort’s commitment to environmental care shapes every decision in the kitchen. Ingredients travel minimal distances from the private garden to the pass, reducing waste and protecting local ecosystems. This grounded approach earned the venue five radishes from the We’re Smart Green Guide. Concentrated cherry tomatoes and citrus notes from local lemons carry the sweetness of summer sun straight to the table, defining their contemporary plant-based cooking.
