“Gaetano Trovato is the interpreter of culinary classicism applied to Tuscan authenticity. Having been a Michelin-starred chef for 30 years, his new project, along with brother Giovanni, is to move the historical Arnolfo Restaurant to the hills of Siena. This choice stemmed from the desire to celebrate the success that made the Trovato family renowned all over the world for the artistry and sensitivity applied in pairing the precepts of classical French cuisine with the more authentic spirit of Tuscany.
Guest Chef at ALMA since 2004, the birth year of the International School of Italian Cuisine, Gaetano Trovato is ALMA’s ambassador of Made in Italy in the world. He defines ALMA as the bearer of the values of beauty, goodness and health, common values to his cooking philosophy. To teach, transmit and disseminate in a professional manner the quality of Italian products and regional traditions is the mission that every chef teaching at ALMA carries forward. According to Gaetano Trovato, contemporary culinary art can be achieved by placing taste at the centre of the creative process, and gathering around it the colours and beauty of each ingredient to create a recipe with local character re-read in the key of a new Italian cuisine”.
