A great start in the world of gastronomy
The mark of a more than encouraging start for Cecilia Spurio and Eugenio Anfuso who opened their establishment in 2024. This former lawyer converted into a starred pastry chef, working for Guy Savoy and Yannick Alléno, and this chef passionate about haute cuisine, who notably cut their teeth at Pierre Gagnaire, combine their know-how and the love of their native Italy.
“Amâlia dares a bold and modernized reinterpretation of French cuisine, in refined dishes that promote quality products,” praises The Fork in a press release.
You can taste, among other things, ravioli stuffed with prawns, nduja condiment and cashew nuts, hollandaise with shellfish and lime or mango mousse and sorbet, marigold, Chinese pomelo and light saffron cloud.
The duo was recently praised by Gault&Millau with a very promising 14/20.
In total, six 2024 winners have been revealed, talented young chefs, from the four corners of France, who have recently opened or taken over a restaurant. An event made possible thanks to the votes of the general public, who nominated their favorites on the TheFork-Awards.fr website:

- Céna by Clément Briand-Seurat in Montpellier (34)
- Bistrot Coco by Constant Meyer in Strasbourg (67)
