Quotes:
Says Chef Aldo Zilli, Celebrity Chef “The chance has finally arrived for me to venture out of my comfort zone into the Asian market. Having tasted some of the best Indian food from great chefs in London such as Atul Kochhar, to say that I am excited about Zerruco by Zilli is an understatement as I have fed and met some fantastic people from India in my 35 years in London. So, as seen on TV from Gordon Ramsay and Rick Stein, I am expecting a big culinary adventure and I am sure I am not going to be disappointed”
Says Manish Kumar Baheyti, Principal Consultant, HAUTE Services Pvt. Ltd “Delhi has a discerning palate which encouraged us to look oversees to engage a known name to bring forth a truly international experience here. The Zerruco Menu has a separate vegetarian section influenced by the fact that Zilli found a majority of his patrons at Zilli Green in London were the well heeled Indians with a penchant for Italian vegetarian food”.
