OSTERIA FRANCESCANA
Chef: Massimo Bottura
CREATIVE - CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT
When you arrive in Via Stella, the restaurant seems to gladly get rid of all the trappings and medals in favor of a contemporary, understated elegance that will not make you overlook the acclaimed works of art of which the chef is passionate. An understatement that is also found in the kitchen, where greatness translates into measure, control and mastery of every means, as well as a great vision that starts from Modena and Emilia - parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, tagliatelle and tortellini among the essential elements - and arrives at international classics, which the chef quotes and reinterprets with playful lightness, to remind you that food is not a boring liturgy, but fun, memory and culture. An excellent selection of wines will complete the experience; sweet dreams await you - on the other hand - at Casa Maria Luigia: in the open countryside, but already on the outskirts of the city.
The chef's commitment:
"I founded with my wife Food for Soul, an association designed to combat food waste and promote social inclusion: the meals donated to people with vulnerabilities - in the refectories - are prepared using surplus food collected from local markets and supermarkets. We want to demonstrate the effectiveness of culture as an approach to improve conditions for people and food ecosystems."
