Over the next 12 months, chef Angelo Aglianó, director of Tosca di Angelo will be inviting five prominent chefs from Italy to work with him to craft unique Italian dishes for guests to relish and provide the opportunity for Hong Kong gourmets to meet these high-calibre international talents and savour their cuisines first-hand.
“When I was little, I lived with my mother and sisters back in Sicily. I used to think women were representations of finesse and gentleness. I never knew women could be so strong until I worked with a female restaurant director in Paris decades ago. Her passion and dedication to the kitchen and restaurant, not to mention the attention to details totally blew my mind,” chef Angelo recalls. “I am thrilled to welcome these amazing ladies from my home country to take the helm of Tosca di Angelo with me, curating unforgettable gourmet experiences that are going to impress our discerned diners.”
This month, Valeria Piccini from Caino restaurant in Montemerano, and recipient of two Michelin stars for more than 20 years, will be the first ‘gem’ to grace the Ritz Carlton event. Hailing from Italy’s Tuscany region, first-time Hong Kong visitor chef Valeria will be showcasing her earthbound, sensual Tuscan cuisine of pasta, mushrooms and the most delicate juicy meats together with chef Angelo’s sunny, ultramarine cuisine in a seven-course menu on November 21 and 22.
“I am proud to present this phenomenal guest chef series at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong,” said Pierre Perusset, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.
“This is Tosca di Angelo’s first time in bringing in such immense female culinary talents. Without Angelo, the mastermind of this unique dining concept, and his talented team of ladies and gentlemen, this one-of-a-kind experience would not be possible.”
