“My cooking philosophy is based on choosing the highest quality of local and seasonal ingredients and allowing those flavours to shine. ” Says Omar. “The most important ingredient is love and without this the dish lacks soul. We have such a strong work culture at Tutto and my ultimate goal is to build trust in my team, so they feel confident to follow their passion on a plate.”
