...at Ferro e Farinha







I am very happy to announce that after many years of self-restraint to work in a restaurant I defeat, but only because this place is very, very special. To my own surprise I end up running around a wood oven at Ferro e Farinha in Rio de Janeiro. Probably due to that the whole reminds me of Kynoto, the restaurant I used to be in charge of in the '05-'07 in Barcelona. In fact Ferro e Farinha doesn’t have more 2m, almost with no space for storage and few tables for service but with a large bar stand to host around 10 clients. It opens at night hours and serves selected drinks together with 5 variety of pizzas.

The decision came not only due to nostalgia, the pizza we are making is a mix of Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Brazilian and street food style. By now all these cultures have in rooted deeply in my palate but I never had the occasion to eat them on one singular dough....so here I am again, with my new chef friends: Sei, Bruno, Chris, Camilla, Thais, Kimi, Cat and the rest.

News: Last week our team won the price of the best pizza in Rio de Janeiro !!! Congrats to all of us and our clients.
