About the Krug Lover
The innovative, eclectic, and visionary Chef Federico Palladino has led Osteria Enoteca Cuntitt in Castel San Pietro since 2020. After refining his skills at "Da Vittorio" and attending Gualtiero Marchesi's ALMA International School of Italian Cuisine, he emphasises rigorous ingredient selection, and crafts unexpected yet meticulously curated flavour stories through his menus. Under his guidance, the restaurant earned a Michelin star, 16 Gault&Millau points, and became a member of Les Grandes Tables Suisses.
“Working in the kitchen is like creating the most beautiful pieces of art: you cannot fully understand a dish until you know the intention behind it.”
