Zucchini Blossoms

The zucchini blossoms by our chef Alessio Sebastiani are a dish built around lightness, colour and seasonality. The base is simple only at first glance: zucchini blossoms, cream of Trombetta zucchini, ricotta and carrot ketchup. Delicate ingredients, brought together with a clear direction, to create a fresh, soft bite full of subtle nuances.

The cream of Trombetta zucchini brings the greener, more vegetal part, with a clean flavour that supports without covering. The ricotta adds softness, roundness and a creamier feeling, making the dish gentle but never flat. This is where the zucchini blossom finds its balance: it stays light, but becomes fuller, more enveloping and more interesting with each bite.

The carrot ketchup gives the dish a different push. It brings sweetness, acidity and colour, creating contrast with the delicacy of the ricotta and the green side of the Trombetta zucchini. It is a small detail, but an important one, because it breaks the linearity of the dish and makes it more alive. It does not weigh it down, it does not force the flavour, but leaves a brighter and slightly unexpected note.

What makes these zucchini blossoms work is that everything stays measured. The cream of Trombetta zucchini brings freshness, the ricotta holds together the softer part, the carrot ketchup adds depth and the blossoms bring that seasonal feeling you recognise immediately. It is a delicate dish, but not weak; colourful, but not constructed; designed to win you over at first taste with balance, cleanliness and character.
