SPACE

Warm red brick, derived from Chinese lacquers. Bright china blue, to create a contrast that is the story of two worlds that touch and run in parallel. East and West, between 1970s atmosphere and lanterns for lights. Il gusto di Xinge is a fish tank that lights up in the night, a recognizable lighthouse that calls. Signals recalling oriental culture, refined and minimal. Details that make room for contemporaneity, strong and assertive. Essential elegance, undeniable beauty.

XIN GE LIU

But who is Xin Ge? Being ethereal and sweet, decisive and pungent. Xin Ge has the world in her eyes and the delicacy of colors and shapes in her heart. She can see. She can hear. She knows how to create. Strength and fire. The sharpness of vision and the extravagance of flavors. Xin Ge is an alternative, a rebel, a icon. A light breath and an erupting volcano. Eyes always open and hands that draw, cut, color.

Her dishes are born from dreams, sensations, emotions. A flow of thought and imagination that takes shape in a moodboard. From there, sketched, lit and vibrant. Then arriving at the construction of flavor and aesthetics, in a path that is first intimate and cerebral to become an explosion of taste and beauty.

DRINX

The drinks of Il gusto di Xinge. DrinXinge. Drinx. More than a cocktail bar, a space dedicated to high mixology with incursions of extreme creativity and a twist of eccentricity. The fil rouge that links food and drink finds its maximum expression in Drinx. Trust, intuition, dream, desire are the emotions that drive the signature cocktails. Matcha tea, sake, katsuobushi and sakura recall the Orient and travels to distant countries. Artichoke, gentian and truffles speak of known and recognized places. A cocktail list in which the unusual is the rule, amazement is at home, curiosity is the life force. It’s the Drinx cocktail list, impossible not to recognize.
