This unique five-day pop-up event promises a culinary journey that combines purity, simplicity, and the richness of Southern Italy’s finest ingredients.
Shangri-La Eros New Delhi is set to celebrate the vibrant flavors of Southern Italy this November, as one Michelin-starred Chef Riccardo Sculli returns to Sorrento for an exclusive five-day culinary event from November 26 to 30, 2025. Inspired by the idyllic coastal region of Calabria, where the land and sea converge in perfect harmony, this pop-up event offers guests a unique chance to indulge in Chef Sculli’s masterful interpretations of purity, authenticity, and refined simplicity in Italian cuisine.
Sorrento, the acclaimed Italian restaurant at Shangri-La Eros, which has earned the prestigious Golden Q award from Ospitalità Italiana, continues to set the standard for fine Italian dining in the city. Known for its meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to using the finest natural ingredients, Sorrento stands as a beacon of excellence in the culinary world.
Chef Sculli now invites guests to experience his unique culinary vision, bringing a fresh yet familiar dining adventure to Delhi. This collaboration blends traditional influences with contemporary flair, offering a journey that feels both timeless and modern, anchored in heritage but with a distinctly forward-thinking approach.
At his Michelin-starred Gambero Rosso, located along Calabria’s stunning coastline, Chef Sculli has redefined Southern Italian cuisine with a philosophy rooted in integrity. His cooking doesn’t start with recipes; it begins with the rhythms of nature — the catch of the day brought in by local fishermen and the seasonal bounty harvested from the fields. Here, the sea sets the menu, and each dish reflects the changing seasons. The result is a culinary experience marked by subtlety and restraint, where each dish is a reflection of nature’s finest offerings.
The carefully curated set menu takes diners on a sensory journey through Calabria’s coastal heart. To start, guests can choose from dishes like Cold Tuna Tataki or a fresh Marinated Vegetable Salad. The primi course features Chef Sculli’s signature creations such as Risotto with Hokkaido Scallops or hand-rolled Tortello filled with Ricotta and Aubergine. For the secondo, options include Farm-Raised Chicken Breast with Organic Carrot and Ginger, Pan-Seared Lamb Rack with Cauliflower and Hazelnut, or the hearty Eggplant Parmigiana for vegetarians. The meal concludes with indulgent dolce choices, such as a decadent Hazelnut, Cocoa, and Vanilla creation or the classic Coffee Panna Cotta.
For those seeking a more personalized experience, the à la carte menu showcases Chef Sculli’s signature dishes in their full splendor. Highlights include Tiger Prawns paired with Sea Urchin Emulsion and Burrata, Saffron Lobster with Raspberries and Soya, and Spaghetti with Prawns and Black Winter Truffle. Other standout offerings include Chilean Sea Bass with White Asparagus and Pan-Seared Lamb Rack. Every dish exemplifies the chef’s commitment to premium ingredients and minimal interference, allowing the natural flavors to take center stage.
Hailing from Toronto with Calabrian roots, Sculli’s culinary journey started in his family’s kitchen and evolved into a global exploration of flavors. His dishes embody his unique heritage—combining the meticulous techniques of classical training with the instinctive touch of someone who still feels the sea breeze in his cooking. From finely cured fish and handmade pasta to innovative seafood pairings, each creation demonstrates his skill in achieving perfect balance, elegance, and depth.
For his special presentation in Delhi, Chef Sculli offers a tailored tasting experience and à la carte menu, exclusively designed for Sorrento.
Speaking about the collaboration, Abhishek Sadhoo, General Manager, Shangri-La Eros New
Delhi, says “Welcoming Chef Sculli to Sorrento is a celebration of shared values – of artistry,
respect for produce, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Through this collaboration, we
invite our guests to experience not just Italian cuisine, but a way of life defined by beauty and
authenticity.”
