Much-admired Italian chef, Gabriele Marangoni, has taken on the role of Executive Chef at Alla Prossima, a new restaurant specialising in Emiliano-Romagnola cuisine.
The restaurant sits inside Nigel McKenna’s Abstract Hotel on Upper Queen Street, and will serve hotel guests as well as those who enjoy fresh and authentic hand-crafted Italian pasta and other dishes from the region surrounding Bologna.
Known as the beating heart of Italian cuisine, the Emilia-Romagna region is the home of Parmigiano Reggiano, sparkling Lambrusco wine, Modena balsamic vinegar and Prosciutto di Parma. It’s also where Gabriele was born and raised and where, working from a young age in his family’s restaurant in Bologna, he acquired a deep passion for the best and most authentic Italian cuisine.
