Ciccio Ferraro has over 47 years of experience in running multiple restaurants and still running Il Salotto today. We can confidently say that he’s a well respected and talented gastronomy expert, especially well known in the Ticino area of Switzerland.

Perhaps the most impressive achievement in his journey is being the Head Chef of the Italian national football team during the World Cup tournament in 2006 – where they became champions! There has also been a book published with 50 of his special recipes, including what he cooked up for the football team in 2006.

It’s proudly on display at Il Salotto - come by and have a read.
