Sprezzatura
The Rustic Bistro way of life !
In a fast-changing world, The Rustic Bistro is a refuge to The Fools on the Hill*: poignant, straightforward and free-spirited individuals who make idling appear so effortless. This is sprezzatura: a knack of making something look so easy even when the conditions are far from manageable.
The Liliw Boondocks inspires anyone to be mindful of time, space and love. In this part of our world, slowing down and idling are attainable luxuries; a reprieve from everything instant, fast, snip-snip and unfeeling.
Our way of life is a homage to freethinking, nonconformity and tolerance. From these, respect for every living and non-living elements arises.
Sprezzatura!
