The guide was formally presented by Giuseppe Cerasa, Director of Le Guide di Repubblica at Michelin-starred Magnolia Restaurant inside Grand Hotel Via Veneto in Rome. Executive Chef Franco Madama, formerly from Ristorante Fini in Modena and Inkiostro of Parma has always been passionate about the kitchen at a young age. His cuisine is very creative, with compositions like abstract art paintings in large rectangular white plates. Plates emblazed with splashes of colors and different textures which recount stories and sensations. For the curious modern gourmand, this is the perfect place to test your palate and your appreciation to modern art on your plates.
