Welcome to Art and Cuisine
About
Two chefs, two artists, one vision: to transform every event into an experience to remember.
About
Two Chefs, One Creative Soul
We are Ilaria Berenice and Paolo Amoretti: two chefs, two artists, one vision.
We bring together cuisine, art and creativity to create personal, carefully curated experiences.
Our cooking grows from the meeting of tradition, seasonal ingredients and creative intuition. Each experience is shaped by the people, the place and the moment — from intimate dinners at home to itineraries devoted to flavor and local produce.
Francesco Scaglia, known artistically as Paolo Amoretti, is a chef and artist with over thirty years of experience.
Trained in Genoa, he has worked in restaurants, pastry shops, and professional kitchens, developing a deep understanding of Italian tradition, with a particular focus on seafood and pastry.
Over the years, he has led teams, trained young chefs, and collaborated with diverse organizations, bringing technical precision, experience and a strong creative sensibility to the kitchen.
Our story
Paolo Amoretti
Paolo has always combined cooking with teaching and a deep interest in local ingredients and traditions. He has collaborated on training and food and culinary promotion projects, and some of his recipes and contributions have been published in specialized magazines.
Recognized in national and international competitions, he combines technique with an artistic sensibility that today also naturally enters into the Arte and Cuisine project.
Our story
Ilaria Berenice
Artist and chef, Ilaria Berenice brings the same sensitivity to her cooking as she does to painting: attention to color, texture, balance, and emotion.
Her relationship with cooking has grown through hospitality, private events and years of working directly with guests, shaping a welcoming, intuitive, and personal style.
Her years abroad, particularly in Spain and Brazil, have enriched her culinary language with different flavors, cultures and combinations. Seasonal ingredients, vegetables, contrasts and creative freedom become the tools for creating something different each time.
Between art, travel, hospitality, and cuisine, Ilaria brings creativity, lightheartedness, and a deeply personal perspective to the table.
Our Philosophy
For us, cooking isn’t just about preparing food: it’s about creating connections.
Every experience begins with listening — to the people, the place and the occasion. Tradition, creativity and local ingredients come together in a personal, seasonal cuisine that changes with every occasion.
