Andrea Berton
(1970) began his adventure in cooking in Milan, with master chef Gualtiero
Marchesi, in Via Bonvesin della Riva. After that, he worked in some of the most
important restaurants in the world. First in London, at Mossiman’s, then in
Florence, at the Enoteca Pinchiorri, with Carlo Cracco, then in Montecarlo, at
the Louis XV, with Alain Ducasse. From 1997 to 2001 he was the Chef at the
Taverna di Colloredo of Monte Albano, a restaurant which, under his direction,
earned a Michelin star. After this important experience, he returned to
Marchesi, as Executive Chef of the group.
Finally, in 2005
Andrea Berton began to work with Trussardi, starting on the study that was to
lead to the opening of the new restaurant in June 2006, of which he is Director
and Executive Chef, the Trussardi alla Scala Ristorante.
Underlying the
project of the Trussardi alla Scala Ristorante there is an in-depth study on
raw materials: starting off from the selection of the best ingredients and
thanks to the continuous research for clean and essential tastes, Andrea Berton
experiments with cooking methods, combinations and consistencies to obtain
authentic and easily identified flavours. The dishes of the Trussardi alla
Scala Restaurant stand out for their harmony and Roast squids with liquorice
sauce; Pumpkin ravioli, smoked tea sauce and anchovy jus; Roast breast and leg
of pigeon, spicy apple and baby beets are only some of the dishes on the menu,
which changes constantly according to the season and the inventiveness of the chef.
Thanks to the
transparency of these dishes, the combinations which are always stimulating,
and the light bases, it is possible to follow a clear and well-defined
itinerary of flavours at the Trussardi alla Scala Restaurant which remains in
the memory for a long time.
In 2007 it's mentioned as the best new restaurant
of the year by the Italian Restaurants Guide published by L'Espresso. In the
2008 Michelin Guide gets the first star, in the 2009 edition the second one. In
Italy only Gualtiero Marchesi succeeded in such an enterprise, in 1977 and in
1978.
