From Visitor Experiences
1. Location and Architectural Design Suspended Over the Sea
Bluh Furore is uniquely situated above Italy's most beautiful fjord, the Furore fjord, offering breathtaking sea views. The restaurant's two-aisle hall is designed like a long corridor that seemingly extends over the sea, creating an immersive dining experience where guests feel suspended above the water. This architectural choice enhances the connection between the dining space and the natural surroundings, making it an unconventional setting for a Michelin-starred restaurant.
2. Culinary Leadership and Signature Dishes Under Enrico Bartolini's Supervision
The restaurant is headed by executive chef Vincenzo Russo, who trained under renowned chefs and returned to his homeland to lead Bluh Furore. It operates under the banner of Enrico Bartolini, a celebrated three-Michelin-starred chef, who contributes legendary signature dishes such as the half-fried prawn. This collaboration brings a blend of local Campanian ingredients with modern culinary techniques, emphasizing creative classicism rooted in regional biodiversity and traditions.
3. Exclusive Dinner-Only Service with a Focus on Natural Phenomena

The restaurant’s minimalist white decor and the natural light interplay (chiaroscuro) complement this focus on natural beauty, making dining here a multisensory event beyond just food.
