THE CHEF
Faithfully embodying the restaurant’s philosophy, Chef Stefano Sforza, born in 1986, offers a cuisine that is clear-cut, with precise flavours and well-defined tastes.
Without too many tricks, straightforward and clean, where you should “remove” rather than “put” (as the master Gualtiero Marchesi used to teach), because adding an extra ingredient to give an unwanted complexity is a skill that everyone can have, while leaving only well-researched flavours on the plate is an attitude that only a few have. Stefano’s cuisine is based on a combination of territoriality, innovation and pragmatism, with a menu that changes according to the products’ seasonality. From his masters, from Pier Bussetti to Alain Ducasse, he learnt rigour, respect and discipline, prior to cooking. The basics, first and foremost. After more than 15 years of experience, after Bellevue in Cogne, Del Cambio in Turin, Trussardi alla Scala in Milan, after three years at the Turin Palace, he joined the Cometto family project and arrived in Opera as Executive Chef. Apart from the menu à la carte, there are two other menus: one is for vegetarians, where Stefano expresses his penchant for vegetables and plays with cooking and textures, and the other is the “Opera” menu where you will be guided by the chef along a creative journey that gives free rein to his creativity and expresses the restaurant’s entire essence.
