Mirko Gatti Foraging Experience in the undergrowth with Radici Restaurant
Mirko Gatti

I am Mirko, Chef Patron of the Radici Restaurant.

After years spent in world-famous kitchens such as the NomaI realized how much the experimentation is an essential part of my understanding of the art of cooking.

The 'Radici' project was born out of this awareness.

As a Cicero I would like to teach how to use what the land has to offer by telling the story of an area through a plate.
