Michelin-Starred Viennese Cuisine Meets Amalfi Flavours in a Historic 300-Year-Old Landmark

Anantara Hosts Two-Night Amalfi-Viennese Culinary Collaboration This August

This August, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel will host a two-night culinary collaboration blending Amalfitan flavours with Viennese Michelin-starred techniques.

On 7 and 8 August, chefs Claudio Lanuto, Executive Chef of Dei Cappuccini at Anantara Convento di Amalfi, and Paul Gamauf, Head Chef of EDVARD at Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna, will present a 4-hands dinner at the historic Dei Cappuccini Restaurant. The venue, a former 13th-century Capuchin convent, offers a setting overlooking the Mediterranean.

Both chefs share a commitment to local ingredients and sustainable practices. Chef Paul Gamauf incorporates low-waste methods and fermentation at EDVARD, while Chef Claudio Lanuto draws from Campania’s regional traditions and local produce.

The evening will start with the Bread Ritual, inspired by the site’s monastic past. Diners will experience alternating courses from each chef, including Chef Paul’s Zucchini – Fennel – Mirabelle, and Chef Claudio’s risotto with basil pesto, red prawns, and pizzaiola sauce.

Desserts will feature Chef Paul’s cherry, almond, and lime creation, followed by Chef Claudio’s Amalfitan Tarte. Each course will be paired with curated wines to complement the menu.

The event offers an opportunity to experience two distinct culinary approaches in a historic Amalfi setting, combining regional authenticity with contemporary techniques.
