Elena

ChefUnder40

Cristian Elena is the patron-chef in a town like Domodossola that aims to become a culinary destination. He has renovated the place from top to bottom. So now in the cellar there’s a space for events and tastings, and a bar-bistro on the ground floor, separated from the signature restaurant and with a different offer.

The first courses include Spaghetti rossi due volte and Plin, rabbit, and carrot broth. Then there’s Baccalà bianco e a colori, with salted cod; Beef, butter and herbs. The preparation is reassuring, showing the desire to innovate but not just for the sake of innovation.
