The chef

Francesco Locatelli, young and very talented chef, graduated in 2010 from the catering school in Nembro. During his studies, he was lucky enough to gain experience in some of the best restaurants in Lombardy, including the “Miramonti L’altro” in Concesio (Brescia) 2 stars Michelin. In January 2010, at only just 18, he was awarded the AIS professional sommelier diploma. In his fifth year, he did a placement at the refined restaurant in Almenno San Salvatore “Cantina Lemine”, where he stayed after finishing his studies as chef de partie. The summer before Polisena opened he worked at the renowned “Roof Garden” in Bergamo, which boasts a Michelin star. Experience in close contact with the famous chef Fabrizio Ferrari is of great importance for Francesco who since October 2011 has managed our kitchen, bringing a touch of freshness and creativity to dishes of the local tradition but also from elsewhere.
