Alessio was in Asia, particularly Japan, where he interned at Kinobu, a Kyoto one-Michelin-star restaurant, before going to Latin America and Paris. Working in Parisian gastronomy as chef at the Michelin-star Ze Kitchen Galerie, he gained extensive knowledge of citrus and Asian flavors. After spending over four years in the City of Light, he settled in Danang, Vietnam. There he founded Si Dining, the first restaurant focusing on his cuisine, which quickly gained fame among foodies. With years of experience in the industry, he has become a master of Italian cuisine, and his dishes are a reflection of his deep love for traditional Italian cooking.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6492a2d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6492a2d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b559eb elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8b559eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 662 441'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-6293\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy.jpg 810w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-608x405.jpg 608w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-758x505.jpg 758w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-72x48.jpg 72w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-144x96.jpg 144w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01521-1-copy-313x209.jpg 313w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ace81cb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ace81cb\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-088b352 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"088b352\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"drop-cap\" style=\"padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 8px; padding-left: 3px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; float: left; color: #990033; font-size: 75px; line-height: 60px; font-family: Georgia; background-color: #ffffff;\">I<\/span><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">n this special session with Nepali restaurateurs, chefs, and other attendees, Chef Allesio showcased a sensorial Italian experience where he presented the crowd with four dishes that mesmerized everyone with their unique flavors. The dishes included Baked Cauliflower with Parmigiano, Eggplant Steak (fresh, savory, and sweet, paired with a fascinating mix of yogurts and spices), Panzerotti Pizza (a unique fried pizza from Italy), and Risotto Black Ink (a savory dish made with garlic, olive oil, risotto rice, onions, and cuttlefish ink) served with Buratta (an Italian cow&#8217;s milk cheese). The chef&#8217;s creativity was on full display as he infused traditional Italian recipes with ingredients commonly used in Nepali cooking, resulting in a truly unique culinary experience. The event was not only a celebration of the fusion of two distinct culinary traditions but also an opportunity to explore the possibilities of sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. The chef shared some tips for elevating simple dishes with meticulous preparation and deliberate seasoning.<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Chef Rasom says, &#8220;The purpose of this event was to spread Italian flavors around the world. We have realized that, globally, people have a limited vision of Italian food and Italian products. With the presence of Casa Rinaldi products in Nepal, the brand is trying to introduce customers to a variety of Italian cuisine under a single umbrella. Today, the purpose was not to promote Italian food in general but to bring this culture to places where people see Italian food from a different perspective. Nepal is a rapidly developing country, and people&#8217;s tastes are improving at a rapid pace. I was here five years ago, and coming back, I can already witness a major difference where people are getting more inclined towards western tastes. This is very impressive because this kind of shift is very rare in other countries.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00e24db e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"00e24db\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c7c973 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0c7c973\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"540\" height=\"810\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 540 810'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-6297\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551.jpg 540w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-265x398.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-531x797.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-364x546.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-32x48.jpg 32w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-64x96.jpg 64w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UME01551-313x470.jpg 313w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-591d205 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"591d205\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdebd70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdebd70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&#8220;The good part of Italian food is that mostly all the dishes are healthy and do not have chemical products.
