Our Menu

More about us

Giovanni came from the Basilicata region, in South Italy. After spending some years working as a lawyer, he decided to change his life and to start a business in Corfù. Across the years he became passionately interested about cooking and this led him to be the chef of his own restaurant: the Rosmarino. He’s continuously improving his knowledge about ingredients and cooking techniques.

Francesca comes from Alleghe, a little village in the Venetian Dolomites and after having graduated in economics in Florence, she worked in the hospitality sector.. Few years ago she left her job and went on a backpack alone journey through Spain and Portugal. Before coming back home she reached a friend living in Corfu, in that occasion she met Giovanni and since then they not parted. She takes care of the service and of the backstage and, least but not last, she makes the desserts.

They got married in Corfu on September 2021.

THE PHILOSOPHY:

At Rosmarino we only use fresh and seasonal ingredients. All our typical Italian ingredients such as mozzarella, burrata, parmesan cheese and ham are ordered and delivered weekly directly from Italy.

Our vegetables and seafood are purchased from local markets.

Our menu is inspired by the classic Italian tradition. We hand made our pasta in our kitchen to maintain the freshness and the authentic Italian taste. We respect the tradition in making our pizza dough, using only flour, water, salt and yest and letting it rise for not less than 24 hours.

We offer a range of Italian and Greek wines for the perfect match to our dishes.
