Chef Davide Caranchini

Born in 1990, he is the chef and owner of restaurant Materia, in Cernobbio (Lake Como, Italy). His passion for cuisine starts from the childhood, when he decided to join the culinary school of Como. Once he achieved the diploma, he started his career through some of the best restaurants in Europe, as Maze by Gordon Ramsay, Le Gavroche and the Apsleys in London, Noma in Copenhagen, and Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence.
