Ferdinando Bernardi, with an extensive career in haute cuisine, already obtained a Michelin star at Orobianco, his previous restaurant. Now, at Casa Bernardi, he continues his passion for Italian cuisine, bringing innovation and creativity to each menu. His goal is clear: to transport his diners through authentic flavours, while paying homage to his roots and the natural environment that surrounds him.
Casa Bernardi's commitment to the use of local and sustainable products is key to its proposal. Fishermen and farmers from the area are a fundamental part of its value chain, allowing each dish to reflect the best of the land and sea of Alicante. The zero kilometer philosophy is present in every creation, making the experience not only delicious, but also environmentally friendly.
In addition to its cuisine, Casa Bernardi stands out for its location. From its terrace, diners can enjoy spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. Every detail, from the decoration to the service, is designed so that each visitor feels part of the great Italian tradition of hospitality.
When you see the drying racks on the coast (Les Rotes, etc.), you'll know you're in octopus territory. Dried octopus on the Costa Blanca isn't just a dish: it's a symbol. It represents the union between land and sea, the ingenuity of those who learned to preserve what nature offered, and the pride of a people who keep their identity alive through gastronomy.
The rabbit and snail rice from Vinalopó is an ode to authenticity. Every detail, from the vine shoot fire to the quality of the ingredients, makes it a unique experience. Ferran Adrià was right: this dish is a masterpiece that every food lover must try.
In Jávea, where the Mediterranean writes its own poetry, La Masena emerges as a refuge that combines gastronomy, design and an unmistakable welcoming spirit. From the first step on its cobbled terrace, the place invites you to calm, delight and to be enveloped by a unique sensory experience.
