Diego Rossi, born in 1985 in Veneto, has spent much of his life in the kitchen.
After attending hospitality school, he honed his skills in renowned establishments across Northern Italy, including the Hotel Bauer’s restaurant in Venice, St Hubertus at Hotel Rosa Alpina, Locanda Margon in Trento, and Le Antiche Contrade in Cuneo.
Rossi is a strong advocate for sustainability in the kitchen, emphasizing the use of seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as foraged foods. He is particularly known for his expertise in working with offal, a subject he has helped popularize in modern cuisine.
In 2019, Rossi published a book, Finché c’è Trippa…, in collaboration with photographer Marco Varoli and journalist Barbara Giglioli.In 2021, he co-founded Osteria Alla Concorrenza in Milan, along with Enrico Maria Porta and Josef Katthabi. Located on Via Melzo, this new venture continues Rossi’s mission to offer inventive, sustainable cuisine rooted in the traditions of Italian gastronomy.
