01 — Esquilino

Raised between two kitchens

Heros was born and raised in Esquilino, Rome’s most multi-ethnic district, near Termini. He still lives there. His father is from Abruzzo, his mother from Eritrea: at home there were lasagne and ravioli on one side, zigni and berberè on the other.

02 — Métissage

Italian technique, market spices

He calls his cooking “métissage”: Italian technique, with spices and produce from the Piazza Vittorio market and twenty years abroad. His style, he says, is vibrant, light and playful.

03 — The bread

The bread of INEO

INEO’s bread trolley won Gambero Rosso’s “Best Bread on the Table” award. On it: Roman pizza, spiced rye, a country loaf of Solina wheat from the Marche, and naturally leavened breads.

04 — The panettone

A panettone for Christmas

From bread to panettone: the same leaven, the time it takes. Flavours, recipes and weights are still to be confirmed: [to be confirmed].
