After working in the London kitchens of Anton Mosimann, Gordon Ramsay and Claude Bosi, it is in the center of Savièse that he presents gourmet cuisine, without fuss, focused on the terroir and as sustainable as possible. An approach defended on the dining side by his wife Letizia, a trained accountant. Both aged 29 and together since 2013, they share a taste for entrepreneurship and an acceptance of the long days that the catering sector entails.
