Hyle

$$$$ Località Torre Garga, S.da 107 Silana Crotonese, 87055, San Giovanni in Fiore

Italian Mediterranean Fine dining Elegant & Chic

The Hyle concept combines two paths, the personal one of Antonio Biafora and the territorial one, represented by the rediscovery of the "via della pece". Pitch Bruzia is a precious raw material with a thousand uses: medicine, naval engineering, handicrafts, and conservation. The woodcutters extracted it from the trunk of the larch pine by carving herringbone channels. Thus, rediscovering an ancient and noble custom, we came across a path of our own, more singular than ever, the path of the pitch. Biafora intends to retrace this path, which starts from the hills overlooking the sea and reaches the top of the mountains, a short route which, however, includes a fertile territory rich in different and exciting raw materials, from which we start to build a kitchen that , enriched by the chef's experience and past, draws a map of territorial excellence, identifying farmers, breeders and small producers and activates a chain of economic and social sustainability.

Italian Mediterranean Premium Casual Pizzeria

The project of "A La Villa pizzeria", located in the village of Soverato Superiore, began to take shape in the summer of 2017 when after an experience in the world of catering, I began to get passionate about research and experimentation through the choice of materials and the discovery of new combinations. Thanks to a series of training courses and many hours behind the wood oven, in August 2018, I started this new adventure. Over the months, I have decided to combine the classic round pizzas with new creations with new textures and structures, experimenting in the field that innovation learned in the various courses I attended. Since that day, I have always been on the lookout for new tastes, experimenting with doughs and never neglecting to research raw materials among the excellence of the territory, following the seasonality of the products and the rhythms of nature.
