Francesco Marchese

Francesco Marchese, born in 1990, originally from Veneto, has built his gastronomic path between Italy and France, working in kitchens of the highest level such as those of Georges Blanc, Marc Veyrat and Yannick Alléno.

After years of training and growth, he arrived at the Réva Resort in Monforte d’Alba, where today he leads the restaurant FRE, awarded the Michelin Star since 2020.

Here Francesco expresses a refined and personal cuisine, which blends Italian tradition and French technique, with a particular attention to the quality of the raw materials and the creative use of sauces and extractions.

The menu tells the story of the Langhe territory with elegance and contemporaneity, offering a gastronomic experience immersed in a breathtaking scenery among the vineyards.

FRE is today a point of reference for fine dining in Piedmont, thanks to the vision and sensitivity of the chef.
