Imola, the city in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna where the chef apprenticed, has a famous music academy. The restaurant’s name derives from the passion for classical music he learned from the students he befriended there. In Imola, the chef developed his belief that a restaurant resembles an orchestra, in that a wide range of players work in harmony to create a greater whole. Cuisine on plates decorated with musical instrument motifs and classical music piped into the dining room deliver a performance worthy of any conservatory.
