This week’s protagonist in the "Italian & International Best Chefs" series comes straight from the United States and is Barack Obama’s “favourite chef”: namely Tony Mantuano, from Spiaggia in Chicago.

“Italian & International Best Chefs” presents 26 among the best chefs from around the world, cooking at Identità Expo from Wednesday till Sunday, both at lunchtime and in the evening.
Mantuano is one of the most famous chefs in the United States and he certainly was among those who paved the way for the success of Italian cuisine in America with his restaurant Spiaggia, opened in 1984. Mantuano had spent the previous year in Italy, acquiring important experience in fine dining restaurants such as Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull'Oglio or Da Romano in Viareggio.
He was proclaimed “Best Chef: Midwest” by the James Beard Foundation in 2005, an award for which he was also nominated a few times. He is also a huge television celebrity, the protagonist of two seasons of "Top Chef Masters", and he’s the author of numerous bestselling cookbooks. Among his greatest sources of satisfaction as a chef, however, there’s the choice made by Obama to celebrate his presidential election in 2008 with a dinner at Spiaggia.
