Once frequented by Formula 1 legends such as Michael Schumacher, this restaurant attracts a wide range of stars, including Penelope Cruz.
Amid the tranquility of Ristorante Montana, located near Ferrari's home in Maranello, Rossella Giannini, hailed as the best pasta maker in the world, continues to weave her culinary magic, daily mail reported.
The restaurant, once frequented by Formula 1 legends such as Michael Schumacher, now attracts a wide range of stars, including footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, and Hollywood figures such as Penelope Cruz.
The world of football, intimately connected through relationships like that of Mino Raiola and Maurizio's father, recommends Ristorante Montana as a hidden gem.
Haaland himself praised it as “the best pasta I've ever eaten.” Even the famous Cristiano Ronaldo, worried about his health, could not resist the abundant offerings during a visit to former Juventus president Andre Agnelli.
However, it is the connection with Formula 1 that gives it a special touch. From Schumacher's endearing messages to regular visits from current Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, the restaurant has become the home of motorsport's elite. Rossella's memory of Schumacher, referring to him as her “Italian mom,” echoes the deep connections forged.
As anticipation builds for Lewis Hamilton's possible visit after signing with Ferrari, Rossella remains excited to offer her famous tagliatelle. The restaurant, with its warm atmosphere, has a unique charm, described by Rossella herself as feeling like being at home.
Ristorante Montana stands as a culinary paradise, where the legacy of legends and the allure of star power converge in plates of exquisite pasta.
