Ugo Alciati

Ugo Alciati is the heir to a family that has written the history of Italian cuisine.
He started working at the age of 15 and has not stopped since.
Alciati’s philosophy is based on seasonal menus, an essential menu, thehighest quality of raw materials, and the enhancement of local excellence.
His cuisine is distinguished by respect for ingredients, the hard work of those who produce them, and the importance of learning from one’s land.
His approach often involves taking away rather than adding.
In 2018, Alciati was named Chef Ambassador of the Italian Truffle in the World for the Piedmont Region by theItalian Truffle Academy.
