Regent Seven Seas Cruises revealed highlights of a refined menu being developed for one of the cruise line’s most beloved restaurants, Sette Mari. The new culinary offerings will be fully unveiled during Seven Seas Grandeur’s inaugural season in November 2023 and will then be integrated across Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ soon to be six ship fleet.
With a focus on heritage, Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations Franco Semeraro and his culinary team, including Vice President of Food & Beverage, Bernhard Klotz, and Senior Director Culinary, Wolfgang Maier, traveled to the Puglia region of Italy, the area from which Franco and his family hails, to draw inspiration for the project. While in Italy, Franco and his team visited a number of “Masserias” – farmhouses found on the estates in Puglia, built around the 16th century – discovering century-old cooking techniques and local ingredients.
Refined or new dishes on the menu will include:
- Bruschetta al pomodoro
- Zucchine alla poverella
- Cavatelli ai frutti di mare
- Insalata di panzanella alla Masseria Salamina
- Cozze gratinate al forno
- Branzino in agrodolce
- Pasticcini alla mandorle
- “Chef Nino” Cioppino
- Focaccia con pomodorini
Sette Mari’s menu refinement is just one of the many ways Regent Seven Seas Cruises continues to further elevate and refresh its culinary offerings by marrying time-honored culinary traditions with the evolving tastes and preferences of global travelers. In addition to Sette Mari, the World’s Most Luxurious Fleet will also elevate the menus of its gourmet restaurants, Compass Rose, Chartreuse, Prime 7, and Pacific Rim which will also be unveiled on Seven Seas Grandeur.
