# Fried Air Appetizers Italy's Feva Ristorante Serves Its Ozone Gas-Infused 'Aria Fritta' for Free By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-02-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-air References: [vegnews](https://vegnews.com/2019/2/italian-restaurant-serves-vegan-fried-air) & [fevaristorante.it](https://fevaristorante.it/en) Feva Ristorante, a fine dining restaurant in Italy, serves guests its 'Aria Fritta' ("Fried Air") appetizer for free as a means of inspiring conversation. The unique dish created by Michelin-starred chef Nicola Dinato involves boiling, baking and then deep-frying tapioca skin before it is infused with low concentrations of O3, also known as ozone gas. In all, the unconventional appetizer is said to "create a sensation that mimics taking a breath of fresh air." The restaurants' fried air dish is seasoned with blue salt and served on a bed of cotton candy and served alongside vegan white sesame seed mayonnaise for dipping. The making of the thought-provoking dish was inspired by the saying that someone is "full of hot air." According to restaurant manager Leonardo Romanello, "In this particular moment in history, we wanted to send a message to our guests, transforming this expression into something of gastronomic value." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sensory Dining Experiences:** Creating unique and unconventional dishes that engage multiple senses can enhance the dining experience. - **Creative Food Infusions:** Infusing food with unexpected flavors like ozone gas can offer new and exciting taste sensations. - **Message-driven Culinary Concepts:** Using food and gastronomy to convey deeper messages and meanings can spark conversations and engage diners. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Dining Restaurants:** Fine dining establishments can explore innovative techniques and ingredients to create memorable culinary experiences. - **Gourmet Food Manufacturing:** Gourmet food manufacturers can experiment with unique flavor combinations and infusions to cater to adventurous consumers. - **Experimental Gastronomy:** Exploring the boundaries of food and taste through experimental gastronomy can lead to novel culinary creations and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air-Fried French Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-fried-french-fries.md) - [Air-Based Chocolate Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solein.md) - [Future-Facing Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-food-menu.md) - [Sharable Fried Shrimp Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrimp-fritto-misto.md) - [Carbonara-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bella-italia.md) - [Rippled Air-Fried Side Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-fries.md) - [Frozen Air Fryer Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-trashy-gourmet.md) - [Air Fryer Snack Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strong-roots-air-bites.md) - [Galactic Atmosphere Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacevip.md)
