Davide Filippetto

Borgoricco sits on the flat Venetian plain between Venice, Padua and Treviso — agricultural flatland whose produce is the heart of Filippetto's cooking. 'Storie d'Amore' (Love Stories) reflects his belief that each dish should carry an emotional narrative, tied to place and season.

Davide Filippetto is the chef-patron of Storie d'Amore in Borgoricco (Padua), a contemporary Veneto restaurant where he started cooking at age 14 and developed a cuisine built on personal memory and seasonal local ingredients. His menus are autobiographical — each dish a chapter in a story connected to the Venetian plain.
