Remaining true to the restaurant’s philosophy, chef Stefano Sforza, born in 1986, offers a cuisine that is clean, precise in flavor, and clearly defined in its tastes.
Without unnecessary embellishments, straightforward and refined, where “removing” rather than “adding” (as taught by the master Gualtiero Marchesi) is key: because adding an extra ingredient to create unnecessary complexity is something anyone can do, while leaving on the plate only carefully studied flavors is an ability reserved for few. Stefano’s cuisine is rooted in territory, innovation, and substance, with a menu that changes according to seasonal ingredients. From his mentors, from Pier Bussetti to Alain Ducasse, he learned rigor, respect, and discipline even before learning to cook—the fundamentals, before the fundamentals.
After more than 15 years of experience, including Bellevue in Cogne, Del Cambio in Turin, Trussardi alla Scala in Milan, and three years at Turin Palace, he embraced the Cometto family’s project and joined Opera as Executive Chef.
Alongside the à la carte offering, there are two tasting menus, one of which is vegetarian, where Stefano expresses his passion for vegetables and plays with cooking techniques and textures, and an “Opera” menu, where guests are guided by the chef through a creative journey that gives full expression to his flair and embodies the very essence of the restaurant.
