A Culinary Journey Through Basilicata
Tasting Menu — Chef Enza Crucinio
The tasting menu at Essenza is a multi-course journey through the flavours of Basilicata’s Ionian coast. Chef Enza Crucinio designs each menu around the freshest ingredients available — the morning’s catch from Policoro’s fishermen, seasonal vegetables from local farms, and artisan cheeses from the Lucanian highlands.
Menu Degustazione Essenza
Wine Pairing
Sommelier-curated wine pairing is available with every tasting menu. The selection highlights Basilicata’s extraordinary indigenous grapes — Aglianico del Vulture, Greco, and Primitivo — alongside carefully chosen Italian and international labels. Each wine is selected to complement the specific dishes of the evening.
SushiDi — A Unique Fusion
Chef Enza Crucinio is Basilicata’s first certified female sushi chef. On select evenings, Essenza offers SushiDi — a fusion experience that marries Japanese technique with the freshest Ionian seafood. Raw fish prepared with the precision of Tokyo and the soul of Southern Italy.
