Al Palazzino - Amore di Mamma

Welcome to Our House

The location is more similar to a Venetian parlor than a restaurant, furnished with simple taste, where the candelabra, old curtains, linen tablecloths, paintings and historical photos, the wood fireplace is turned on in the autumnal and winter months all together re-create that old home culture, without stress and with honest and genuine sentiments.

A luxury environment with particular attention to the family, not th3 luxury that may contain the habits and the client’s social world, creating vague embarrassment. Sophistication of emotions, not elite stereotypes. Welcome to my home, is our greeting. After having lunch or dinner at our place, you will appreciate this type of welcome where the term “restaurant” is put aside.

Ideal location for your events: weddings, anniversaries and any other family events.

Family Album

We introduce ourselves. Let’s start with my son Alessandro, that shows off an accentuated British "aplomb", even if he has been risen at the foot of Pre-Alps. He had clear ideas since he was little child: when people asked him what he wanted to do once he was an adult, he frankly answered “the restaurateur and the lawyer!"...years later I have to admit that he has been successful in both these quests!

My daughter Nancy was born the day in which they invented an important sweet: she would stay in the kitchen from morning till night to produce and innovate. Her mega-praline stuffed full of chocolate to reach the sublime, even if the sweet temptations are often accompanied by perfidious guilt of calorific nature. But it is worth it, and not because she is my daughter.

Regarding myself, I think I was born with a ladle in my hand. With brutal romanticism, a French once said that “happiness passes by the stomach”. On a personal level, in many years of courses, internships, events and initiatives in different parts of the world, I learnt from great master chefs that the cuisine is the art of sentiments: the truffle Ovetto® with foie gras is not the arid and obvious sum of three ingredients, but the exciting yearning of reaching the clients satisfaction. That at the end is our satisfaction .

Dessert

Preparing a sweet is not simply to blend ingredients and cook:

the sweetness is the melodious and pleasant tastes of life.

Nancy continuously looks for the pastry philosophy, the execution of the recipes and the discovering of the best raw materials it is almost an obsession for her.

The result is a sweetness scene with merged colors…the art has no shape, it is the expression of the artist.

Amore di Mamma

The project Amore di Mamma is born from the willingness to create a product as synthesis of high quality, where the respect for the main ingredients is fundamental.

In Galliera Veneta (Padova area), in a modern laboratory located in an ancient Venetian villa of the 18th century, our jams are produced and packaged, with fruit processed extremely fresh and only during the season. For this reason, in the cold months the production is completely closed and it resumes only when the company can procure fresh fruit, selected by trusted producers.

The two main strengths of our company are:

- the high quality and the freshness of the raw materials. We only use Italian fruit, manually processed and not frozen

- the production and packaging are completely and genuinely artisanal processes. For this reason each jam is different from the other.
