Stefano de Blasi lifts his baseball cap and rubs at his head distractedly. The restaurateur is sitting in his latest creation, La Costa Restaurant, bashing out emails and marshalling staff. It’s two days until opening night and – like every food and beverage opening ever, it seems – it’s going down to the wire. De Blasi says he’s been to a GP for stress-related health issues.
