ZERO-WASTE, SEASONAL & SUSTAINABLE DINING
HOTEL I DAMMUSI LAMPEDUSA
Borgo Cala Creta
Our Vision of Sustainable Dining
At Hotel i Dammusi in Borgo Cala Creta, our commitment to sustainability is reflected at the table as well.
Our culinary philosophy stems from a clear choice: adopting a responsible dining model that reduces food waste, highlights local resources, and contributes to environmental protection.
In our restaurant, every dish is the result of a mindful, seasonal supply chain. We use fresh ingredients, preferably locally sourced, and implement practical strategies to minimize surplus and make the most of every raw material.
Being a zero-waste restaurant does not mean sacrificing quality or creativity. On the contrary, it encourages an essential, ethical cuisine that is deeply rooted in the land. It’s a concept of hospitality that combines pleasure with responsibility—offering our guests an authentic, sustainable, and enriching gastronomic experience.
Practical Actions Against Food Waste
Fighting food waste, reducing packaging, and using resources wisely—inside our restaurant, these are not just guidelines, but daily, measurable practices aligned with the hotel’s broader sustainability vision.
We have eliminated single-use plastics, selected suppliers committed to environmental responsibility, and prioritized seasonal ingredients, locally sourced or from small-scale producers. Portion sizing, stock management, and thoughtful menu planning allow us to avoid excess and drastically reduce waste.
Cleaning and service operations follow low-impact protocols, and we promote transparent communication with guests, encouraging mindful dining habits.
Being a zero-waste restaurant means treating every ingredient as a valuable resource. Preserving, enhancing, and using it creatively is at the heart of our commitment to a more ethical and sustainable way of dining.
Supply Chain Ethics and a Deep Connection to the Land
For us, sustainability also means recognizing the true value behind every ingredient: the people, the knowledge, and the seasons.
Our culinary philosophy is rooted in a food supply chain that prioritizes quality, fairness, and respect for the local environment.
We collaborate with small farms and artisanal producers who work in harmony with nature, biodiversity, and the rhythms of the island.
It’s not just about minimizing environmental impact—it’s also about strengthening the cultural and economic fabric of Lampedusa by building genuine relationships between producers and hosts.
The restaurant at Hotel i Dammusi is also a place of storytelling: it expresses the identity of Lampedusa through its flavors, reinterpreting Mediterranean traditions with a simple and conscious approach.
A cuisine that goes beyond standard models, celebrating raw ingredients and honoring seasonality as a true act of responsibility—towards the planet and the people who inhabit it.
