Otto Pomodori
In Italy, tomato sauce is that ever-present ingredient in every home. It is tradition, it is the base for many preparations, it is a concentrate of nature and sunshine.
We at LA ROQQA have created a sauce so special that is has become a metaphor for our identity, the values we believe in and the style that identifies us. A recipe meticulously devised by Chef Francesco Ferretti, which in a single dish - Spaghetti Otto Pomodori, the symbol of our Scirocco restaurant recounts the surprising variety of the Argentario, a unique territory suspended between sea and land.




OUR UNIQUE FLAVOR
Eight types of tomatoes, each processed using different techniques to best express its qualities, brought together in a sauce with a unique flavour. It is also a perfect metaphor for our values: inclusiveness, represented by the many varieties; talent enhancement, as we do with people through our 'hiring by attitude' approach; and sustainability, thanks to the solidarity and local project of L'Orto Giusto, where our tomatoes come from. In a small jar of tomato sauce is contained, and travels with you, a great story.
