Cornelia Poletto

Chef Cornelia Poletta knows that all good parties start and end in the kitchen. Cooking, of course, has always been a huge passion of hers. It’s a passion that she also nurtures outside her restaurant, in her kitchen at home. Whenever the chef has friends over, she serves them fresh pasta vongole, or great cheese with an excellent glass of wine. Simple, pure, and without any fuss. Just like her dishes at restaurant Cornelia Poletto. But next to that, Cornelia is also interested in people and their stories. As a cook and host, she wonderfully combines her love for cooking and people at her dining spot. For her. It’s all about celebrating togetherness – and food is a great means to do that.

"Cornelia Poletto stands for diversity. In the kitchen, the recently renovated restaurant combines the passionate lifestyle of Italy with North German nonchalance. You can see and taste that! Her culinary motto is: 'Good food can only come from truly good products.' So, on the plate, high-quality products play the starring role: sun-ripened tomatoes, freshly caught fish or a piece of tangy Parmigiano Reggiano. Quality convinces, not the frills around it. Cooking is done without unnecessary fuss. The team in Hamburg-Eppendorf cooks at a top level, nonetheless. They constantly look beyond borders: the Italian-Mediterranean menu of the restaurant is occasionally refined with a touch of Shanghai or a hint of Northern Germany. Just a few metres away, Cornelia Poletto runs two other gastronomic hotspots. 'Cucina' is her own cooking school where, in addition to cooking courses, regular culinary events take place. 'Paolas' is a mix of bar and delicatessen."
