La Cucina restaurant at Relais San Vigilio welcomes chef Stefano Masanti for a multi-starred Cena in Fermento dinner!

Ristorante La Cucina Relais San Vigilio Cene in Fermento

March kicks off with an unmissable event at La Cucina del Relais San Vigilio restaurant: on Thursday, March 6, we will be hosting one of the most prestigious names in contemporary Alpine cuisine, Michelin-starred chef Stefano Masanti from Il Cantinone in Madesimo, for our Cene in Fermento dinner series.
At a time when the mountains are back in the spotlight thanks to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, this evening represents an ideal gastronomic bridge between two Alpine souls: the Bergamo Orobie Alps and Valtellina, united by a passion for authentic, innovative mountain cuisine deeply rooted in the territory.
Chef Stefano Masanti, who earned a Michelin star with his restaurant Il Cantinone, is recognized as one of the most authoritative interpreters of modern Alpine cuisine. His philosophy is based on respect for high-altitude ingredients, the promotion of Valtellina products, and impeccable technique that enhances flavors without ever betraying them. This vision is perfectly in tune with that of our Executive Chef Davide Suardi, guardian of the Orobic tradition and master of local cuisine.
A unique and memorable evening where the two chefs will share the kitchen in a four-handed dinner that celebrates the mountains in all their nuances, accompanied by fine wines from Azienda Agricola Nobili, an excellence of Valtellina that will tell the story of the territory through pairings designed for each individual course.

Friday, March 6, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
