Antonio Cannavacciuolo

For Cannavacciuolo, cooking is an expression of life which has no choice but to move on, in a continuous process of study and growth. He plays with flavours, putting ingredients from the Mediterranean sea together with typically Piedmontese ones, creating new combinations that enhance their unique flavours and arouse the curiosity of his guests.

His experimentation and combination of the traditions of the South with those of the North can be summed up in his well-known phrase:  “While visiting the lake, the Mediterranean fell in love and bore the Alps the gift of its rich flavours”.  

Antonio works on his cuisine every day of his life, drawing inspiration from life itself. His dishes also reflect and epitomise his journey northwards from the Sorrento coast to his wife, Cinzia, a native of Orta which is now his home. These are the secrets of our two Michelin starred restaurant.
