Luigi Taglienti, born in 1979, is a Ligurian chef who built his career alongside great masters and in international kitchens. After starting out with Ezio Santin and training between Italy and France, he earned his first Michelin star in 2007 at the restaurant Delle Antiche Contrade in Cuneo. A second star followed at Trussardi alla Scala in Milan (2012–2014), and a third at Lume, the restaurant he founded in 2016.
In 2022, he opened “Io Luigi Taglienti” in Piacenza, a personal project he led until 2025.
His award-winning and distinctive cuisine blends classical technique, intuition, and contemporary sensitivity, shaped by influences from Italian, French, and international culinary schools. Tradition, modernity, and creativity come together in dishes designed to engage a broad and curious audience.
The Cooking Shows offer a unique opportunity to experience haute cuisine up close, thanks to the presence of talented chefs who present original and refined dishes that reflect their personal gastronomic vision.
The experience includes:
- The dish prepared by the chef
- A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
- S.Bernardo mineral water
- A 100g mini Panettone by Galup
- Tartufo Regale, an exclusive artisanal dessert that faithfully replicates the shape and color of the famous Alba Truffle created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati.
The experience lasts approximately one and a half hours. To ensure the quality and organization of the event, no menu changes are available in case of allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary requirements.
Please note that Alba White Truffle shavings are not included, but may be added to the dish based on the daily quotation from the Stock Market.
Children who wish to take part in the tasting must have a valid ticket. If children will be present in the room without participating in the tasting, please notify us by email at info@fieradeltartufo.org at least 72 hours before the event, so that a seat can be arranged next to their parents.
