Shaping a new tradition
At only 23, chef Agnese Loss brings remarkable precision and depth to Osteria Contemporanea. Trained in Trentino and top Michelin-starred kitchens across northern Italy, she crafts a cuisine that balances her roots with Piedmontese heritage. Her menus transform offal, freshwater fish and humble, peasant dishes into experiences that are delicate yet bold. Recognised with Gambero Rosso’s “TradizioneFutura” award, Agnese’s cooking reflects her belief in simplicity built on technical rigour, creating plates that resonate with authenticity and emotion.
“Technique matters, but it’s the ingredient, and the feeling behind it, that makes a dish unforgettable.”
Osteria Contemporanea
