The impressive culinary adventure of Chef Andrea Berton began at the Milanese restaurant Via Bonvesin de la Riva owned by the eminent Italian chef Gualtiero Marchesi. Besides Marchesi, Berton has also worked with other notable chefs such as Alain Ducasse at Louis XV in Monte Carlo and Carlo Cracco at Enoeca Pinchiorri in Florence. In 2006, he finally opened the acclaimed Il Ristorante Trussardi Alla Scala in Milan. Two years later, the restaurant was awarded its first Michelin-star and in 2009, it received two Michelin-stars. The menu is closely linked to the seasons and the dishes possess balanced and clean flavours, such as raw and cooked red prawns from Sicily, crispy amaranth, ‘Taggiasca’ olive oil and smoky whisky jelly and civet sauce. Combining the best ingredients with his expert usage, Chef Berton is known for his inspiring cuisine that is characterised by contemporary notes and excellence.

Masterchef Andrea Berton will be presenting an Epicurean Delights menu at Pontini, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore from 19 to 23 April 2010.
