Mogano, located just outside Rome in Formello, is one of the most innovative restaurants on the Italian gastronomic scene, combining creative cuisine, fermentation and pairings with high-quality craft beers. Born alongside the Ritual Lab brewery, beer is much more than a drink here: it becomes an ingredient and a guiding thread throughout the culinary experience, adding depth to fermentations, aromas and textures. Chef Matteo Faenza, winner of the Emerging Chef Award 2025 organised by W Italy, combines impressive technique and creativity with a deep respect for local ingredients. His award-winning 100% Pure Plant dish — a cucumber roll filled with finely chopped vegetables treated like a Mexican mole, served with a carrot and lemon extract — perfectly illustrates his vision: fresh, original and beautifully balanced. Alongside the classic menu, Mogano offers both a Pure Plant and a 100% Pure Plant menu, giving vegetables the attention and creativity they deserve. An elegant and minimalist setting completes an exciting gastronomic experience where vegetables, fermentation and craft beer come together in a truly distinctive way.
