Working outside Italy has taught me to look beyond the recipe. It’s important to me to understand a dish’s history, the role of its ingredients and what makes it recognisable. That understanding gives me the freedom to interpret it in my own way, knowing what needs to be preserved and what can be expressed anew. For me, contemporary aesthetics should help reveal a dish’s character. What interests me is the moment when a guest recognises a familiar Italian flavour and discovers a depth they hadn’t noticed before. #toniogreco #italianchef #italiancuisine #ravioli #finedining taken in Budapest, Hangary by @tonio.greco

A guest may forget the name of a dish. But they remember how they felt at the table. In my interview with @diningguide, we talked about my journey, Italian cuisine beyond Italy, and what I want to create with the team at @covabudapest. Swipe for selected excerpts in English. Full interview in Hungarian: https://diningguide.hu/az-igazi-luxus-a-megelt-ido-minosege-interju-tonio-grecoval-a-cova-budapest-sefjevel/ Thank you to Ihász Nóra for the conversation.

Over more than thirty years as a chef, I’ve made thousands of decisions. Most never went beyond the kitchen, but some changed the course of my life. My restaurant, Tante Cose, built around my signature cuisine, was a deeply personal project. There, I came to understand even more clearly that a chef is responsible not only for the food, but also for how guests remember their time with us. I’m grateful to everyone who became part of that story. To those who came back, spoke honestly, trusted us, and are still with us today. I remember. But respecting what we’ve created doesn’t mean standing still. I wanted to see how the experience I had gained could find expression on a different scale: within a historic international brand where a chef’s personal vision guides a large team. That’s why I’m not afraid to turn the page. The experience I gained over the years of creating and developing Tante Cose has become part of how I think, create dishes, and lead a team. Today, a new chapter in my career begins: Cova Budapest at Matild Palace, where I lead the kitchen as Executive Chef. Cova’s history goes back to 1817. For me, that date carries a responsibility: to understand Cova’s history and heritage, its authentic Italian character, and to find the right expression for it here in Budapest. For me, Italy has never been a collection of familiar recipes. It begins with the ingredients we choose, how we bring out their flavour, and how we welcome guests to our table. These decisions will shape my work with the Cova team. What we create is best judged at the table. See you at Cova. ⠀ ⠀ #covabudapest #matildpalace #budapestdining #toniogreco taken in Cova Budapest by @tonio.greco

Foodie heaven unlocked! 🍽️✨ Dit diner bij @tantecose_italian_restaurant was puur genieten van begin tot eind. 😍 🥂 Een smaakvolle start: een perfect gebakken zeebaarssteak, boterzacht en vol van smaak, op een fluweelzachte saffraan-aardappel- en doperwtenpuree. Romig, verfijnd en met dat vleugje saffraan dat alles net dat tikkeltje meer geeft. 🍏 Tijd voor verfrissing! Een pre-dessert met komkommer, Granny Smith-appel, munt en limoen espuma—fris, licht en verrassend speels op de tong. 🍫 De grande finale: een fondant chocolade met warme hazelnootkern, geserveerd met romig vanille-ijs. De perfecte mix van warm en koud, zacht en smeuïg—een echte showstopper. Als jij moest kiezen, welk gerecht zou jij als eerste proeven? 👇🔥 taken in TANTE COSE by @tonio.greco

Lazy Sunday vibes, maar mijn gedachten zijn nog bij die magische avond bij @tantecose_italian_restaurant.✨ Sommige plekken voel je gewoon: de sfeer, de passie, de perfectie op je bord. Dit is er zo één. Italiaanse gastronomie in haar puurste vorm, gebracht met finesse en een tikkeltje flair. 🇮🇹🍷 Het soort restaurant waar je een avond vergeet hoe laat het is, omdat alles klopt: de smaken, de wijnen, de warme gastvrijheid. Waar je niet gewoon eet, maar beleeft. Dit verdient een plekje op je foodie-bucketlist, geloof me. 💫 Wie heeft deze verborgen parel al ontdekt? En wie gaat ‘m zéker testen? 👀👇 taken in TANTE COSE by @tonio.greco

“Mediterranean Symphony of Love” – a gastronomic composition where every note resonates in perfect harmony. A delicate tartare of salmon, gently marinated in the essence of the sea, meets the velvety richness of buffalo ricotta. The final touch—crystals of Sicilian sea salt—unfolds the depth of flavor, like the last chord in a symphony. #MediterraneanSymphony #CulinaryArt #ItalianFineDining #KruisemDining #GastronomicExperience #SeafoodDelicacy #italiancuisine #salmondinner #seafood taken in Gent, Belgium by @tonio.greco

TAGLIOLINI WITH LEMON AROMA AND CRUDITÉ OF RED PRAWNS 🍋🦐 Delicate tagliolini, the freshness of lemon, and the refinement of red prawns. Simplicity of form, behind which lies impeccable technique. At Tante Cose, the ingredients speak for themselves—the chef merely enhances their perfection, creating not just a dish, but a fine gastronomic composition. Inspiration is born in the moment. Today, it’s the perfect texture of pasta, the deep taste of the sea, and an airy lightness. Tomorrow, a new story—another brushstroke on the culinary canvas. What would your perfect stroke be? ✍️ #FineDining #ItalianCuisine #GourmetExperience #Tagliolini #RedPrawns #CulinaryArt #GastronomicJourney #ArtOfPlating #ItalianPasta #FreshSeafood #SeafoodLover#ItalianFood by @tonio.greco
