ALBERTO PANCIERA

Executive Chef, Settimo Cielo

Hailing from Trissino, North Italy, Panciera is accustomed to making his own sauces as well as preserving and pickling his own vegetables in jars. “They make great snacks with bread and cheese. You will always find parmesan cheese, tomato and lemon in my fridge,” says the chef. Settimo Cielo is well-known for its rustic Italian flavour and contemporary presentation, highly visible in dishes such as Beef Cheeks or Mushroom Porcini Risotto. Its all-you-can-eat, à la minute Grazing Menu is a favourite pastime for many in-the-know regular visitors and Bali residents.

The restaurant is currently closed until further notice. “This pandemic is not going to disappear anytime soon. It will take time to bring the business back to the same level as before. As soon as the situation gets conducive, we will re-open with strict physical distancing and a smaller, more efficient menu. Deliveries and private catering will be something that we will focus on,” explains Panciera.
