Chef Fernando Tommaso Forino – Osteria Arborina, Arborina Relais

Born in Campania on October 13, 1990, the same day Italy celebrates Saint Francesco Caracciolo, patron saint of chefs, the chef has now arrived in the Langhe to lead the new culinary project at Osteria Arborina, bringing with him a wealth of international experience and a mature, personal culinary vision.

He began his journey at a very young age at the Savoy Beach Hotel in Paestum under chef Gioacchino Nocera. This early start led him to train with some of the most renowned names in gastronomy, including Di Costanzo, Michel Bras, Anne-Sophie Pic, Alinea, Andrea Aprea, and Andrea Berton. At just 25, he became Executive Sous Chef at “Vespasia,” where he refined his creativity and culinary perspective.

In 2018, at the age of 28, he became Executive Chef at La Bottega in Geneva, earning a Michelin Star. After this international experience, he returned to Italy in 2020, first to Tuscany at Borgo Santo Pietro, then to Umbria at Castello di Reschio, where he embraced an essential cuisine focused on product quality and emotional resonance.

Today, with the Osteria Arborina project in the Langhe, the chef continues to develop a cuisine that blends technique, sensitivity, and Mediterranean roots, aiming to offer an authentic, emotional, and deeply territory-driven dining experience.
