The Palazzo Kitchen Table

The Palazzo Kitchen Table is an intimate, chef-led dining experience that celebrates Italy’s finest seasonal ingredients, using a blend of Italian and Japanese cooking techniques to reflect Executive Chef Matteo Panfilio’s culinary passions. With only eight seats arranged around an open teppanyaki-style counter, every gesture becomes part of a considered culinary journey shared between the chef and his guests.

Led by Local Flavours  

A 10-course tasting menu showcases the finest flavours of the Veneto region. From the violet artichokes of Sant’Erasmo island and the coastal herbs of Cavallino, to fresh lagoon and Adriatic seafood alongside the finest cuts of meat from the foothills of the Venetian Alps.  

Refined by Japanese Techniques

Cooking techniques alternate to highlight the purity of local ingredients and the subtlety of flavours – from light Japanese sauces and seasonings to homegrown techniques that preserve the taste and integrity of each ingredient. The use of the swift-heat teppanyaki grill seals in flavour with precision, while a charcoal-fired yakiniku grill lends caramelisation and a subtle, smokey sweetness.

Inspired by Omakase

The dining experience draws upon the Japanese ethos of omakase – a chef’s choice culinary custom that means ‘I leave it up to you’. In this instance, the omakase experience invites guests to surrender choice to the chef’s expertise and treats them to an intimate setting shared by just eight to witness his craft up close.
