“I arrived here with my children, after an experience of thirty years with my husband Vitaliano who left us too soon. This is a return to my origins in the Agogna Valley where I was born, with the desire and commitment to enhance an area yet to be discovered” Felicina
A chef with international experience, he embodies culinary mastery and love for his land. With an undisputed passion for local and seasonal ingredients, he helps us rediscover the authentic flavours of Piedmontese tradition, interpreting them with a touch of creativity. At MonteOro restaurant, each dish is a little journey into tradition with a unique touch of innovation.
An eclectic and dynamic soul, she inherited her passion for wines from her mother Felicina and just like her she is an expert sommelier and always ready to welcome us in the dining room. She has transformed the restaurant into a living place by proposing events where art, inspiration and imagination merge with gourmet cuisine. This is why MonteOro is much more than a place to enjoy great food.
With her long experience, she embodied the history and culinary passion of a lifetime, first at Sacro Monte Restaurant in Orta San Giulio with her husband Vitaliano, until last January at MonteOro restaurant.
Rising star of the kitchen, born under the sign of Cancer, she shines bright just like her love for the colour yellow. She joins her uncle Alessandro in the kitchen, turning into a dough wizard. Flour, sourdough, water, eggs and sugar are her magic ingredients: this is the essence of creativity that makes her happy. Her bread and breadsticks accompany every meal until dessert in an intense gastronomic embrace.
A true Lion of the kitchen, Riccardo is passionate about calisthenics and has a weakness for the colour black. The realm of embers holds no secrets for him and his daily tools are tongs, spatulas and knives. He prefers wood to charcoal because it restores authentic flavours and aromas to the delicious grilled fish and to the beef and sheep meat grown on pasture in the Agogna valley.
Passionate about cocktails and born under the sign of Aquarius, she wants to become the most experienced barman flyer on Lake Orta. Armed with her essential tools such as the Boston shaker, bar spoon and strainer, Camilla is ready to amaze you with the “Idrospritz Monteoro” a drink she created, which is a perfect cocktail for summer evenings, combining Celtic mead with quality wine, in a reinterpreted combination of taste that gets lost in the mists of time.
