Description

Summary: A fearless kitchen pursues a personal language through daring textures and focused ingredients.

Aqua Crua, guided by Baldessari, presents a wildly personal menu that refuses easy categories. Dishes oscillate between austere technique and playful provocation, some crafted to be as striking as they are dramatic, all backed by careful ingredient study. The dining journey tracks from familiar foundations to sharper, more experimental notes, while a thoughtful wine cellar and discreet service accompany the chef’s mission to reshape flavor.
