We tried it: Casa Zarautz, One Venue, Two Distinct Dining Experiences
Housed in a century-old mansion in the heart of Palermo, Casa Zarautz is the latest project by chef Leandro Leyell. What sets it apart from other restaurants is its unique concept: two completely different dining experiences under the same roof.
