About PatioTime Seafood

La Nostra Storia

Il ristorante Balenottero si trova a Lampedusa, tra l’ingresso del porticciolo vecchio e il corso principale dell’isola, via Roma. È un locale che nasce nel 1997, quando il fondatore Giovambattista Maggiore decide di mettersi in proprio e rischiare tutta una vita di sacrifici nella realizzazione di
questo ristorante, che era il suo sogno. 

Il nome è legato a un suo caro ricordo: un’esperienza avuta con un gruppo di universitari del Nord Italia, venuti a Lampedusa prima della primavera per osservare e studiare da vicino le balenottere, che qui passano ogni anno, puntuali. Giovambattista conservò in sé quest’esperienza come una delle più belle della sua vita.

Fabulous taste journey

Experience

Simple and balanced. Alexander Petillo brings together flavors and specialties from Italy and beyond to create his own culinary world, full of surprising artistry.

“I traveled all over the world, feeling and learning the authenticity of each local speciality food. I benefit a lot from working with other chefs and restaurants. In Japan, in Thailand, in Sweden, in Mexico, and elsewhere, chefs have different philosophies and ways of handling ingredients.”
