Le mirage

A fantastical tasting experience unfolding across Orticolario, where subtle sensory illusions meet gastronomic wonders.

Not everything is as it seems: this is the manifesto of Orticolario / En rêverie.

Sometimes it is a dream, sometimes an illusion.

 

And it is precisely from illusion that Le Mirage emerges: a fantastical tasting experience unfolding among Orticolario’s flavours.

A refined proposal designed to suspend the senses’ judgement, deceiving the eye and delighting the palate.

Le Mirage features five small edible trompe-l’œil creations, spanning appetisers, drinks and desserts, to be collected at participating refreshment points.

Experience by reservation, while supplies last.

Contribution _ €40*, including a welcome gift, in collaboration with Pellegrini.

The Orticolario admission ticket is not included in the contribution.

* Thanks to your contribution, you help us support cultural projects.

Orticolario is much more than an event: it is a project that creates value for the local area and its community.

It looks like an egg, but it isn’t.
And, as a matter of fact, it’s vegan.

But is it a dessert?
