It all began in 1870 with Andrea Rosa's innovative concept: a mobile kitchen providing 'on-site banquets' in Venice's palazzi and the villas of the mainland. Well ahead of its time, the idea was a great success, and Andrea was increasingly called to Veneto villas along the River Brenta, to which he travelled by horse-drawn barge. In 1879 Antonio Rosa, known as ‘Salva’, having inherited the 'travelling trattoria', became chef to the royal household. Prizes and awards made him a famous for his cooking, and especially as a refined pastry-chef.
