A Meeting of Culinary Philosophies

Andrea Drago, who has positioned Orobianco as one of Spain’s most prestigious Italian fine-dining destinations, focuses on purity of flavor, lightness, and the essence of Mediterranean products. His cuisine is delicate yet bold, often surprising with refined reinterpretations of Italian classics.

Michelangelo Mammoliti, meanwhile, is renowned for his unique connection to nature. His restaurant La Rei Natura has become a reference point for modern Italian cuisine that emphasizes foraging, biodynamic gardens, and the emotional resonance of ingredients. For him, cooking is a way of telling stories—each dish reflecting seasons, landscapes, and childhood memories.

Together, Drago and Mammoliti will compose a symphony of two voices: one anchored in the Mediterranean Sea, the other rooted in the forests and fields of Piemonte – a perfect melodic menu that you can check it out here.

The Four-Hands Menu

The special menu crafted for this evening highlights a sequence of dishes where land and sea intertwine, with an interplay of textures, temperatures, and aromas designed to captivate the senses.

The four-hands menu that Andrea Drago and Michelangelo Mammoliti will present at Orobianco on September 9th is best understood as a conversation between two Italies. From Calpe, Drago brings the clarity and brightness of the Mediterranean, where the sea and the sun inspire dishes of balance and refinement. From Piemonte, Mammoliti adds the forest, the garden, and the mountain—an earthy, emotional approach that draws on memory and the rhythm of nature. Rather than alternating voices, the chefs weave their essences together into a seamless narrative, one course flowing into the next like movements of a symphony.

What emerges is not a simple exchange of styles, but a true melting of culinary identities. The menu resonates with familiar echoes of Italian tradition, yet reshaped with unexpected textures, aromas, and emotions. It is an invitation to travel without leaving the table: to feel the sea breeze of Alicante in dialogue with the Alpine air of Piemonte, to taste the brightness of summer meeting the depth of the forest. Guests will not discover a list of recipes, but rather an experience—an evening where memory, territory, and imagination converge to create something fleeting, unrepeatable, and unforgettable.

Moreover, each course reflects the chefs’ shared commitment to product excellence, while still expressing their individual voices. Mammoliti brings nature’s poetry; Drago contributes Mediterranean lightness. Among their ingredients, Eel with butter and moscatel pil pil, Marinated Rabbit with red prawns or BBQ spaghetti cooker with bbq prosciutto’s extraction will be different spots in a journey of flavours and delightful imagination.

A Singular Experience in Calpe

Located on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean, Orobianco is Spain’s only Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, a true culinary landmark where tradition meets modern creativity. Hosting Mammoliti is not just about sharing a kitchen—it’s about inviting guests to taste two worlds simultaneously.

This four-hands menu is available for one night only, making September 9th a date to remember for gastronomy lovers. Diners will enjoy not just a meal, but a journey through landscapes, memories, and emotions—crafted with precision and passion.

As a result, seats for this dinner are limited, and demand is expected to be high. For those who value haute cuisine and storytelling through food, this night at Orobianco will be nothing short of unforgettable.
