News Chef Andrea Berton Brings Fine Dining Home During Renovation by Olivier Watson January 2, 2025 3 min 5 Discover how Chef Andrea Berton transforms his restaurant closure into a unique home dining experience with exquisite menus and attentive service.When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This adage rings especially true for Chef Andrea Berton, who has taken an unexpected restaurant renovation as an opportunity to bring his culinary expertise directly to customers’ homes. Starting January 15, Berton will close his Milan restaurant for at least a month due to renovations, but instead of stepping back, he’s stepping up with a unique home dining experience called "Berton a Casa." This initiative not only showcases his commitment to high-quality cuisine but also emphasizes the importance of adapting in challenging times. The idea behind Berton a Casa is simple yet elegant: if customers can’t come to the restaurant, the restaurant will come to them. Berton aims to share his culinary philosophy outside the restaurant walls by offering personalized dining experiences that maintain the same attention to detail and excellence for which he is known. He believes that food should not only satisfy hunger but also create memorable moments, even in the comfort of one’s home. Unique Menus for Home Dining Berton’s home dining service features three distinct menus designed to reflect his creative vision while accommodating logistical challenges. Each menu is carefully crafted with seasonal ingredients and showcases impeccable technique. Here are some standout dishes: Steamed Scallops with black cabbage and Jerusalem artichoke. Herb Risotto paired with Taggiasca olives and caper powder. Red Shrimp served with olive oil foam, amaranth, and parsley sorbet. Duck Tortelli accompanied by saffron sauce and spinach jus. For dessert, enjoy Puffed Chocolate with raspberry and licorice alongside delightful petite pastries. These dishes not only highlight Berton’s culinary prowess but also ensure that guests can savor high-end dining from their own tables. Restaurant-Level Service at Home Unlike typical delivery services that may lack personal touch, Berton is elevating the home dining experience by bringing his restaurant’s exceptional service directly into clients’ homes. His team is trained to replicate the ambiance of Berton Ristorante, ensuring every detail—from warm welcomes to discreet service—is meticulously executed. Each evening aims to transform ordinary dinners into extraordinary experiences. With a base cost of €200 per person (excluding wine), diners can expect not just food delivery but a full-fledged culinary event complete with professional waitstaff and customizable setups. Guests have the option to request tailored table settings, including linens and tableware that enhance their dining atmosphere. A Culinary Journey of Excellence Chef Andrea Berton has a storied background in fine dining; trained under Gualtiero Marchesi and honing his skills at prestigious establishments such as Mossiman’s in London and Louis XV in Monte-Carlo under Alain Ducasse. With accolades including Michelin stars earned at Taverna di Colloredo di Monte Albano and Trussardi alla Scala in Milan, Berton’s career reflects a dedication to excellence in every dish he creates.
