The cuisine of Ristorante Due Pini
Ours is a contemporary kitchen: a careful balance of flavour, colour and form, built on years of experience. It draws above all on the produce of this valley, with one eye on tradition and the other on innovation. The result is precise cooking that brings out the character of this place and is meant to move you.
Our chef
Flavio Faedi was born in the authentic countryside of Romagna, where he grew up surrounded by genuine ingredients and the simple, honest cooking of his grandmother, a farmer, who deeply influenced his culinary roots. He approached hospitality school almost by chance, but quickly found his path, gaining experience both in the kitchen and in front-of-house.
His early involvement in high-level events allowed him to encounter great masters such as Vissani and Marchesi. After several stages in Michelin-starred restaurants, he soon took on leadership roles, managing kitchens and culinary projects in renowned properties such as Palazzo Seneca and Castello di Reschio, as well as working as a consultant for international hotel and restaurant groups.
His cuisine is rooted in the authentic traditions of Italy, reinterpreted with lightness and purity of flavor, always with great attention to guests’ needs and expectations. Alongside his culinary work, he has consistently cultivated a strong passion for mentoring and training the next generation of chefs.
Passion, integrity, respect, and dedication have always been the driving forces behind his career, together with his love for nature and mountain landscapes, where he finds inspiration and balance.
