Born in Campania on October 13, 1990, the same day Italy celebrates Saint Francesco Caracciolo, patron saint of chefs, the chef has now arrived in the Langhe to lead the new culinary project at Osteria Arborina, bringing with him a wealth of international experience and a mature, personal culinary vision.
He began his journey at a very young age at the Savoy Beach Hotel in Paestum under chef Gioacchino Nocera. This early start led him to train with some of the most renowned names in gastronomy, including Di Costanzo, Michel Bras, Anne-Sophie Pic, Alinea, Andrea Aprea, and Andrea Berton. At just 25, he became Executive Sous Chef at “Vespasia,” where he refined his creativity and culinary perspective.
In 2018, at the age of 28, he became Executive Chef at La Bottega in Geneva, earning a Michelin Star. After this international experience, he returned to Italy in 2020, first to Tuscany at Borgo Santo Pietro, then to Umbria at Castello di Reschio, where he embraced an essential cuisine focused on product quality and emotional resonance.
Today, with the Osteria Arborina project in the Langhe, the chef continues to develop a cuisine that blends technique, sensitivity, and Mediterranean roots, aiming to offer an authentic, emotional, and deeply territory-driven dining experience.

Cooking Shows offer an immersive fine-dining experience, where the chef prepares the dish live on stage, blending technique and inspiration. Alta Langa accompanies the entire journey with elegance, culminating in the tasting, enhanced—upon request—with White Alba Truffle and exclusive gifts.
The experience includes:
- The dish prepared by the chef
- A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
- S.Bernardo water
- A 100g mini panettone by Galup
- Tartufo Regale, an exclusive handcrafted praline created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati, faithfully replicating the shape and color of the famous Alba truffle
The experience lasts approximately one and a half hours. To ensure quality and organization, menu changes are not available in case of allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary needs.
The Alba White Truffle is not included and, for those who wish, will be charged separately according to the daily quotation of the Truffle Market Exchange.
Children who wish to participate in the tasting must have a ticket. If they are present in the room without taking part in the tasting, this must be communicated via email to info@fieradeltartufo.org within 72 hours of the event, so that seating next to their parents can be arranged.
The event is simultaneously translated into English.
The ticket purchased online includes access to the World Market of the White Alba Truffle and to the MUDET – The Alba Truffle Museum.
