My name is Massimo Bottura. I am an Italian chef born in Modena. I grew up under the kitchen table. As my grandmother Ancella rolled out the pasta dough, I hid under from my older brothers with flour falling on my feet. At Osteria Francescana we look at the world with the eyes of a child, from under the table and upside down. Everything we see, think and feel is compressed into our cuisine.
