WELCOME
TO AL GATTO VERDE
AT CASA MARIA LUIGIA
Set in the majestic courtyard of Casa Maria Luigia, between eighteenth-century villas and our historic balsamic vinegar cellar, Al Gatto Verde, led by Chef Jessica Rosval, invites guests on a journey of wood-fired cooking, generous hospitality, and our love of everything about the Emilian countryside.
JESSICA ROSVAL
Born in Montreal, Chef Jessica Rosval moved to Italy in 2013 to join Osteria Francescana, before taking the culinary helm of Casa Maria Luigia in 2019. At Al Gatto Verde, she explores unconventional ways to transform smoke into flavor and flames into narrative gestures, bringing her Canadian roots in dialogue with the ingredients, traditions, and landscape of Emilia.
MENU
At Al Gatto Verde, fire is not just a technique. It is a language that elevates Emilian ingredients and culinary contaminations through a synthesis of creativity, ethics, and sustainability.
The current tasting menu, Fables, takes inspiration from Italian fairy tales and their universal morals. “The world of Italian fairy tales is a vivid landscape, where we learn courage, prudence, and wonder through stories that blur the lines between what has been experienced and what has been dreamed .”
