the research that makes Brizza a true laboratory of marine cuisine continues. Here the sweet offerings recall savory scents with choices such as the L<strong>emon Sea Stones and the coffee with salted caramel with a sprinkling of Trapanese salt<\/strong> &#8211; flavors of the sea that persists and becomes the concluding note of an already memorable evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brizza&#8217;s <strong>wine cellar<\/strong> is \u201calso an immersion in itself &#8211; pandering to the atmosphere, with<strong> a special search for Italian labels<\/strong> <strong>refined near the sea<\/strong> and <strong>cocktails<\/strong> <strong>that evoke its salinity and scents<\/strong>, using its purified water as the basis for original recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evocative marine atmospheres<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The layout of the restaurant is in harmony with a natural setting that takes center stage. Graceful and essential details, such as the lighting created by a local carpenter using so-called &#8220;nasse,&#8221; still used for boat fishing in the Trapani area that here create intimate islands of light along the bay. Just as the handcrafted glass plates chosen to frame the courses, with their shades of white and blue, are traces of a sea that reaches the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmond.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.belmond.com\">www.belmond.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Villa Sant&#8217;Andrea, a Belmond Hotel, located in Taormina Mare, inaugurates a unique dining experience by the sea, pieds dans l&#8217;eau with the opening of Brizza, the new pop-up restaurant on the Bay of Mazzar\u00f2.
