Castel di Sangro is the ultimate destination for Italian cuisine enthusiasts, where one can experience the quintessential cuisine of Reale. Despite his name, which means 'hermit' in ancient Italian, and the restaurant being built in a monastery, chef patron Niko Romito has never presented himself as a high priest of fine dining. Romito is a self-taught chef who has climbed the world restaurant rankings in just two decades. His cuisine is created using simple, ordinary ingredients, and he increasingly offers entirely vegetarian menus. Romito's startling realization is that beauty and functionality are synonymous. The key to his cuisine lies in the simple combination of the two.
