ExtraordinarY ITALIAN
a passionate discovery of different flavours, colours, textures and smiles...
Magnolia Restaurant was created in 2003 following an idea by Alberto Faccani to captivate his guests in a unique sensory experience consisting of fun, a passion for pure flavours, and harmonious combinations. Magnolia is a place where local tradition meets other worlds, where creativity meets the desire to experiment and astound, where cooking meets art, and where this harmonious blend will surprise and enchant you. This formula quickly won over the palates of critics and resulted in Magnolia being awarded with a Michelin Star in just its second year of operation.
From 2008 till 2010 he took part in the Italian TV-show “La Prova del Cuoco” on the national TV channel RaiUno.
Alberto Faccani handles all aspects of his restaurant, from the selection of base materials to the plate settings, and from bread-making to pastries, making the Magnolia “a fresh and dynamic place of enjoyment, with an international feel” where guests will smile from amazement and pleasure in equal measure when each course arrives.
In 2010, in collaboration with KitchenAid, he opened a cooking school in his restaurant aiming to teach to his clients and colleagues the philosophy behind any Magnolia’s dishes. According to the wine and food guide “Identità Golose” he is one of the 100 chefs who have changed the Italian cuisine in the past 10 years.
Along with the President Chef Massimo Bottura he is member of the CheftoChef Emilia Romagna Association which wants to enhance the regional cookery traditions.
