Luca Rossi, born in Italy, bounced from one part of the world to the other to work in the kitchens of Christine Manfield at “Universal” and “121B.C.” in Sidney, “Coya” in London and at Marc Fosh’s “Bacchus”, with his final destination in Ibiza, Luca opened what was the first nikkei restaurant on the island, Coricancha, where he meets Bruna Sotriffer.

Bruna comes from a small town in the Dolomites, where she grew up in her family restaurant “La Rosticceria” learning from her father. When travelling to Australia she found herself working at “Bannister’s by the Sea” and “Cupitt’s” where she also helped in the vineyard at harvest season. Soon after landing in Ibiza, she became sake sommelier, working then with ENTER.Sake while she was also part of the Vino&Co team.

Food and drink play an essential role in their lives.

Bringing on his ever-evolving preservation techniques that are built around locally foraged ingredients, and ancient grains such as Xeixa, fermented, cured, smoked and pickled.

Together they find inspiration in every day’s walks thru Ibizan wild fields and in the colourful world of spices that they collect and discover during their travels around the globe.

Luca and Bruna have explored Japan’s culinary culture extensively and both interned at “INUA” in Tokyo.
