Stephen Sforza
The chef Stefano Sforza, born in 1986, offers a clean and precise cuisine, characterized by well-delineated flavors and a clean approach.
Following Gualtiero Marchesi‘s philosophy, he favors the concept of “taking away” rather than “putting on,” aiming for a cuisine that enhances only the essential and studied flavors.
His cuisine is based on territoriality, innovation and concreteness, with a menu that changes seasonally. Sforza learned rigor, respect, and discipline from his masters, such as Pier Bussetti and Alain Ducasse.
After more than 15 years of experience, including Bellevue in Cogne, Del Cambio in Turin, and Trussardi alla Scala in Milan, he became executive chef at the Cometto family’s Opera restaurant .
Offering two distinct menus, one vegetarian and the other “Opera,” Stefano expresses his fondness for vegetables and offers a creative path that reflects theessence of the restaurant.
Beppe Fenoglio Hall
The Hall is dedicated to Alba writer Beppe Fenoglio (1922 – 1963), author of such works as The Partisan Johnny, A Private Matter, and Springtime of Beauty.
In the splendid monumental complex of the Maddalena courtyard, the center of Alba’s cultural life, two large works by Gallizio face each other on the walls of the conference room dedicated to Beppe Fenoglio.
This room, set up during the Truffle Fair, hosts Cooking Shows.
