Chef Alfredo Russo’s Biography
A native of Piedmont, north Italy, Chef Alfredo Russo was born into a home where importance was placed on good food. Having completed his studies and apprenticeships at various Michelin starred restaurants in Piedmont, at the age of 22, Alfredo Russo opened the Dolce Stil Novo restaurant. Three years of resolute work earned him his Michelin star and less than 12 months later he met the criteria to enter Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe. In 2004, the leading Italian culinary guide “L’Espresso” awarded Alfredo the title of “Italy’s best young chef”.
Alfredo’s acclaimed kitchen and personal style has also led to collaboration (2004-2008) with the Gran Hotel et de Milan from 2004 until 2008. In 2008, the Dolce Stil Novo restaurant moved to a new home inside the Palace of Venaria (Reggia di Venaria). It became the first ever restaurant located inside a royal palace. In 2011, the Dolce Stil Novo Restaurant received the International Five Star Diamond Award from The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. In 2013, the Italian Touring Club announced that the Dolce Stil Novo restaurant was added to the prestigious “Olimpo della ristorazione” list.
