Bartolini leaves “Fico”: “the costs were high compared to the earnings”

Not everything is as “Fico” (cool) as it seems, at least not for the multi-starred chef Enrico Bartolini. Just 5 months after its opening, he has decided to leave the restaurant “Cinque”, at the agri-food park of Eataly, FICO, in Bologna. According to Corriere.it, the reason is that “the costs were high compared to the earnings”. The press office of patron Oscar Farinetti does not agree, at least, anyway, on the “hasty” timing. The Sicilian chef Peppe Barone will replace Bartolini.
