His passion for cooking began during Lever Service, where he discovered theessence of the act of love in feeding others.
He began his professional journey between Verbania and Novara, and then worked with Carlo Cracco in Milan.
He then moved to Locanda del Pilone in Alba, where he learned about the Langhe tradition and the Japanese culture of Chef Kondo.
He then decided to open his own restaurant in Alba, called Ristorante Larossa, to express his own idea of cooking. In 2018, just two years after entering the Michelin Guide, the restaurant earns its first Michelin Star.
After the pandemic, in 2021, Andrea and Patrizia find a new location to face new challenges and horizons.
