The Chef
Osvaldo Forlino.
Born in Montacuto (AL),
on 18 September 1953.
His own boss since 1980, first with the
restaurant Forlino and now with La
Gallina, this chef spent time at Da Guido
in Costigliole and at the Sadler in Milan.
What he says about himself
“I’ve been breathing in the aromas and
flavours of cooking since I was born, my
dad, mum and grandmother all being
involved in the activity. Practically – based
on a quick calculation – I’ve been working
in the restaurant business for 50 years.”
