Pasquale Laera, originally from Puglia and now deeply rooted in Piedmont, is the chef-owner of Borgo Sant’Anna in Monforte d’Alba, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of the Langhe. His cuisine blends rural tradition with contemporary vision, earning him his first Michelin Star in 2014 at La Rei (Boscareto Resort), and another in 2020 with the opening of Borgo Sant’Anna.
His culinary journey includes training at ALMA, mentorship under Antonino Cannavacciuolo as sous-chef, and international experiences in Japan, Copenhagen, and Mexico, which have shaped his creative and technical approach. His dishes reflect a balance of memory and innovation, using local ingredients with precision and personality.
In 2022, he launched a second project: Lostu, a playful osteria just steps from Borgo Sant’Anna, inspired by the traditional piola of Piedmont. While Borgo Sant’Anna showcases his avant-garde side, Lostu celebrates authentic, rustic flavors, rooted in the region’s culinary heritage.
