Manhattan, New York (Pix11– In some restaurants, food can be a religious experience. This can be said to a new Italian restaurant in the Soho neighborhood in New York City, where the owner of the “papal chef” was wiped in Rome for 10 years.
After preparing meals for two chapters in the Vatican – John Paul II and Bandicct 16 – Salvo Lu Castro’s dream was to cook for the New York residents.
Inside Spring Street, there is deity for the latest Italian spot in New York City, Casalvo. Some say that the food prepared by the chef Salvo Le Castro is heavenly.
“Do you feel blessed? I think yes.”
His first full services was opened for one month, and Lo Castro soon acquired a loyal follower of his famous mother and vitchin recipe. The 52 -year -old, who cut his teeth in Sicily and Rome, says that eating in Casasalvo is like coming to his home.
He said: “The name is very big for my guests. Casalvo, this is my home, and every day I live here 18 hours a day.”
For a decade in the Vatican city, his days were full of cooking for about twenty people a day, including every sacred father.
Anthony Delorinzo, the Nexstar’s Pix11 correspondent, asked Lu Castro about the favorite papal meal.
He said, “The Pope is a very simple man.” “Pope John Paul, in the last years of his life, follow a single, very light diet. Pope Benedict, I prepare meat balls for him … Schnitzel.”
Lu Castro expected that the next Pope follows Francis to be American. Certainly, next month, he was preparing for a personal list for Pope Liu in Chicago.
“When I shook his hand, I felt he was sacred.”
“We are very surprised by the exciting story behind his experience,” added Denner Yu Kyung Chang.
So what is the next man in the white coat? He says, God willing, he hopes to expand his reserves in cooking to cities all over the world.
