How you eat at Soluna

There is no à la carte menu at Soluna. Teppei serves a tasting menu that changes with the seasons and combines Japanese technique with Mediterranean produce. Each service opens with the day’s product, such as seafood, fish or A5 wagyu, followed by a sequence of courses. You can choose the Soluna Menu, the Festival Menu or, to sit in front of the kitchen, the chef’s counter.
