Cracco Peck

Cracco Peck is a restaurant in Milan, Italy. The chef is Carlo Cracco.

The chef Carlo Cracco is regarded by many as the supreme representative of Italian Cuisine. His roots are in classic Italian cuisine.

As a young chef he worked for Alain Ducasse in Monaco, refining his culinary skills with the well defined touch of French cuisine. He also worked with Italy's great chef Gualtiero Marchesi (credited with inventing Italian Modern Cuisine, and the first in the country to be rewarded with 3 Michelin stars) for whom he opened in 1993 "Ristorante Gualtiero Marchesi" in Erbusco, in the Franciacorta wine region, south of Lake Iseo. He also worked for Enoteca Pinchiorri (Florence) in their satellite restaurant in Tokyo, where he learned about oriental cuisine. He has merged these influences with his own drive for perfection and innovative cooking, thus developing his own unique style. Cracco searches for new ratios and combinations of textures and flavours from everywhere in the world. Then he adds his genius sense for flavour ratios and combinations, whilst never forgetting his Italian roots.

His specialities include white truffle dishes and risottos.
