Could a restaurant launch be any more COVID-era than the opening today of Seta Sydney, where its Michelin-star executive chef has to oversee the kitchen from Italy via Zoom?
Entry back into Australia for Matteo Vigotti (Peck, Novecento) has been restricted since he popped back to Italy for a quick visit to celebrate his birthday in March. He s been stuck there ever since. Fortunately for Sydney diners, Seta has head chef Giovanni Astolfoni actually in the kitchen.
When Vigotti is finally cleared to return to Australia he ll find one of the most beautiful new dining rooms Sydney has seen in some time.
