This November, COMO The Halkin in London welcomes Chef Giovanni Luca di Pirro, Executive Chef of Michelin-starred La Torre at Tuscany’s COMO Castello del Nero. From November 6th to 8th, and November 11th to 14th, di Pirro presents ‘A Taste of Tuscany’ — a menu that captures the culinary essence of Italy’s most renowned cuisine.
Guests can enjoy a set menu, or dine à la carte, with highlights including barbecued amberjack loin with Oscietra caviar, spaghetti with red prawns and Tuscan aglione, and beef served with seasonal greens. Vegetarian guests can indulge in mushroom pappardelle, celeriac Wellington, or zucchini flowers with ricotta. To finish, desserts such as Guanaja chocolate crémeux with caramel miso ice cream and apple tarte tatin celebrate the sweetness of the Italian harvest.
Giovanni Luca di Pirro
About the chef
Born in Romagna, Giovanni Luca di Pirro trained as a chef in Italy and France. Since joining COMO Castello del Nero in 2012, he has maintained a Michelin star at La Torre, reflecting his dedication to honouring authentic Tuscan ingredients with modern precision. Now, di Pirro brings his signature approach to the British capital in a menu guided by the seasons and Tuscan traditions. “I champion fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, served farm-to-table,” he says. “While technical knowledge is essential to great Italian food, it’s the quality of your ingredients that’s the real secret to sensational dishes.”
Hosted in the intimate dining room of COMO The Halkin, ‘A Taste of Tuscany’ offers London diners a rare opportunity to savour Michelin-starred Italian cuisine, with inspiration straight from the rolling hills of Tuscany.
