Iside Maria de Cesare e Romano Gordini are a husband and wife chef team who own the restaurant La Parolina.
Iside was born in Rome studied engineering for 2 years before changing careers. She gained work experience in the kitchens of Agata e Romeo, La Pergola (the Hilton hotel restaurant) and Frasca Castrocaro, where she met Romano, who had returned from a stint working for Gualtiero Marchesi in Erbusco, They decided to open La Parolina, deep in the Tuscan countryside, where on summer nights one can dine on the outside terrace. The restaurant has terrific views.
Their cooking is inspired by contemporary trends: sweet and savoury ice creams are a feature, popping up as an accompaniment to starters and main courses. Specialities include panzanella salad with chianina beef ice cream (I think – difficult to tell with the word order) and skewered pigeons with foie gras and thighs stuffed with morels.
