Il Portico
Appiano Gentile, Italy
When the late Gualtiero Marchesi was asked who was the most talented of the young chefs who trained in his kitchen, he would always name Paolo Lopriore. Though soft-spoken and mild-mannered, Lopriore made a name for himself at a luxury resort in Tuscany, where the bitterness found in his cuisine proved so disconcerting that a number of guests submitted letters of protests. He’s now cooking at the lovely Il Portico, where his mom runs the service, and where he serves a tiny menu that relies on local ingredients and on the catch of the day from nearby Lake Como.
