Look for Chef Bagni in an upcoming event on The Food Network.

Chef and Owner Gabriele Bagni draws his experience from a family with sixteen generations of chefs. He loves his food and is quick to quip about the importance of the all-natural ingredients in his dishes. He knows the world of difference a tablespoon can make and he has acquired a vast knowledge of wines. A colorful and charming man, Bagni's passion for food is infectious - of course you'd expect nothing less of a man who has had food so deeply rooted in him the way Bagni has! If you have opportunity to meet him, you will be captivated by his funny food fables…and you'd most definitely learn a thing or two about truffles.
