Kalma Restaurant
“The sum of experiences in the professional cooking, the desire to bring the personal touch to a project that reflects a whole way of doing, thinking and being into the world of gastronomy. Thus arose Kalma Resto, by Jorge Monopoli. An articulation of knowledge that is more than the sum of its parts.
Kalma is calm, it's intimate. A small space, just 24 seats, personal attention, varied accompanying music. The goal, getting beyond what is strictly gastronomic, generating experiences.”
