Marco and Sandra, chefs and partners of the Stefenelli Desk restaurant in Aosta, lead a haute cuisine project that enhances the best local raw materials with rigor and creativity.
Marco's story begins at sixteen, when, after the loss of his father, he moved to Bonn, Germany, to work in a restaurant. Despite initial difficulties, such as the language barrier and long daily walks, Marco made his way thanks to his talent and dedication.
In the 90s, German haute cuisine was very innovative, and Marco absorbed its technique and rigor. This experience led him to cook for international figures, including Nobel Peace Prize winners such as Willy Brandt and Yāsser ʿArafāt.
Today, with Stefenelli Desk, Marco and Sandra offer an essential cuisine that enhances local raw materials, reflecting an ethical and sustainable approach to food.
