When Italian chef Stefano Bacchelli first arrived in Shanghai, he didn’t just bring pasta and Parmesan—he brought a culinary revolution. 🌟 Combining the bold, sun-kissed flavors of the Mediterranean with the vibrant local ingredients of the Chinese mainland, Bacchelli has created a dining experience that’s impossible to ignore. 🍅🌶️
In an exclusive chat with NewspaperAmigo.com’s Louisa Lee, Bacchelli shared his secret: 'It’s about respecting traditions while dancing with surprises. Shanghainese diners crave authenticity, but they also love adventure.' His signature dish—a truffle-infused xiaolongbao—has even won over the city’s toughest food critics. 🥟✨
What’s next? Bacchelli hints at a rooftop pop-up blending Venetian cicchetti with Jiangnan street-food twists. 🎉 One thing’s clear: In a city where food is life, this chef’s cross-cultural creations are the main event. 🎭
