THE INTERVIEW
When did you get this idea?
Four years ago. At first we just wanted to make a bar specializing in sweets of excellent quality and moderate prices. Then the neighborhood evolved and CODA became a restaurant with a menu that includes only desserts, from appetizers … to coffee. We were inspired by the term ‘coda’ intended as the musical coda which is practically the end of a composition, just as dessert is generally served at the end of a dinner. We give a lot of importance to the body’s reaction to a specific food, almost a medical research. After a dinner with us you will leave satisfied, well fed, not too ‘sugaryish’, nor drunk.
First memory face to face with a dessert?
When I was curious about my grandmother Liselotte while she was making her strudel.
I was so fascinated by her that I wanted to help her roll out the dough. but … I was too small to get to the kitchen counter and I had to get on a stool ….
When did you decide to dedicate yourself to catering?
From an early age, I have always said to myself ‘when I grow up I will be a cook or a police commissioner …’
Let’s talk about weekends. Where do you like to spend one?
Finally home, with my girlfriend and cooking, which doesn’t happen often.
I would cook something very simple and basic also because the oddities and the most unusual solutions … I leave them to CODA!
