Francesca Mannis is chef and general manager of RIVA Restaurant & Lounge Bar in Falerna Marina. Her path crosses cooking, bar culture and the study of hospitality, leading to recognition as a Consul of Italian Hospitality. RIVA’s offer begins with contemporary seafood and high-quality ingredients, combining Calabrian traditions with other culinary languages. Mannis also works on pairings between dishes and mixology, taking the same story into events, training and show cooking. Her idea of simplicity still relies on technique: concentrating flavours, making each dish clear and building an experience by the sea.
