The chef
Massimiliano has been working as a cook for the past 20 years. When he was a child he loved frying omelets very much: that marked the beginning in his career. Today he is much more experienced and, of course, he can prepare full meals (starters, pasta, main courses and desserts). If you ask him which is his favorite dish the chef will answer "Roasted meat"! Massimiliano got his high-School diploma specializing in cooking and hotel services in 1996 in Pinerolo (Torino). While he was still studying he did a few internships to practice on the job in some renowned regional restaurants. Massimiliano started to work in a historical restaurant located in Piobesi Torinese, called la Stazione, where he gained first true experiences. The cook and the owner was a middle-aged woman who taught Massimiliano real and “ancient” recipes Piedmont’s style and showed him how to select and mix premium local raw materials. Five years later, Massimiliano challenged himself. He decided to study the contamination of his traditional cuisine with British and French tastes and so he moved for a few months to London and for about a year he lived in Paris where he found employment in large Italian restaurants. Having thus improved his managerial skills, working in kitchens with other international professionals, he decided to come back home and start his new own business . Waiting to find the right location and inspiration, he meanwhile worked in a traditional restaurant located in Santena, named “The old inn Rome”. At the age of 27, he opened his restaurant in Carmagnola that still operates today with the help of the tireless mother . The cuisine he proposes can also be adapted to a gluten-free diet. It is the result of a careful selection of top quality local raw materials which are creatively mixed and cooked so to enhance the flavors and scents. Massimiliano devotes lots of his time in experimenting and cooking because he does not want to serve any semi -finished products which, in the end, all the same. The extensive wine list is also the result of a careful selection of the chef who caters mostly on the hills of his beloved Piedmont .
