"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."
