About us
A story of love, friendship and authentic Italian cuisine
In 2018, two young people in love, Roby & Vale, left Italy to start a new life in Spain. Benidorm was already a landmark on their horizon, guided by their mentor, Master Pastry Chef Giuseppe Gagliardi. What began as a tapas bar became La Oficina del Gusto: a living laboratory where every day they experiment, learn and perfect so that «Gusto» bursts out in every dish.
Our story
Once upon a time there were two young people in love who, in 2018, left Italy to seek a new future in Spain. Advised by their mentor Giuseppe Gagliardi, who encouraged them to improve day after day, they went from a tapas bar to creating La Oficina del Gusto. They began gradually introducing an Italian touch with typical dishes and desserts thanks to the experience and technical knowledge of Master Pastry Chef Giuseppe Gagliardi. Day by day they got to know their customers' palates better, learning and experimenting with new ways to present authentic homemade Italian food.
Good things take time
This has always been our motto, whether in preparing dishes so they reach the customer in the best way, or in explaining well what they are eating so they can enjoy an experience through all the senses. With great effort and hard work, they have earned the affection and praise of a great many customers for the high quality of their Italian products. A quality they keep pursuing thanks to their tireless desire to offer the best.
Our Mentor: Giuseppe Gagliardi
None of this would have been possible without our mentor, Master Pastry Chef Giuseppe Gagliardi, who has always advised, helped and taught us.
