DARIO AND DIEGO GUIDI, ANTICA OSTERIA MAGENES
At the foundation of our culinary journey there are countless ingredients, with love for the ingredients, for the territory and for this profession being the most significant. Then comes the enjoyment that should always be present, along with imagination and memory, which, when blended, give life to our dishes.

The secret to every liquid recipe lies in balance, consistency, and respect for each component, from the raw material harvested at the right time, to the desire to invite you to enjoy a meditative experience and pause. Alessandro’s approach to research and temperament found balance in Giovanna’s skills, creating a complementary partnership.
