La Cucina restaurant at Relais San Vigilio welcomes chef Giancarlo Morelli for a new Cena in Fermento

Ristorante La cucina Relais San Vigilio Bergamo

January means a new beginning, at least at La Cucina restaurant at Relais San Vigilio, where on Friday 30th we will resume, after the short December break, with the Cene in Fermento, a series of food and wine events that showcase the uniqueness of the Bergamo area.

The guest of honor will be Giancarlo Morelli, a Bergamo-based chef who has already earned a Michelin star with the famous Pomiroeu in Seregno and is chef at, among others, the Morelli restaurant and Bulk in Milan, as well as Phi Beach in Baja Sardinia, and one of the mentors of our executive chef Davide Suardi.

A unique and unmissable evening where our Chef Davide Suardi will share the kitchen with the great Chef, alternating between them in an unforgettable four-handed dinner accompanied by fine wines from Castello di Grumello, a renowned reference point for Bergamo viticulture, which for the occasion will be represented by its Director, Stefano Lorenzi, who will describe the wines in detail at each stage.
