Rossella Giannini, acclaimed as the world’s best pasta maker, continues to work her culinary magic at Ristorante Montana, near Ferrari’s home in Maranello, according to the Daily Mail.
The restaurant, which was once frequented by Formula One superstars such as Michael Schumacher, now attracts a varied range of celebrities, including players Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, as well as Hollywood icons such as Penelope Cruz.
The football world, which is tightly tied through links such as Mino Raiola’s father and Maurizio, suggests Ristorante Montana as a hidden gem.
Hollywood elite have also paid Rossella a visit, including Penelope Cruz (second from left) and Michael
Haaland himself called it ‘the greatest pasta I’ve ever had.’ Even the famously health-conscious Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t pass up the hefty food during a visit with former Juventus president Andre Agnelli.
However, the tie to Formula One gives a unique flavor. From Schumacher’s heartfelt remarks to the frequent visits of contemporary Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, the restaurant has become a gathering place for the racing elite. Rossella’s remembrance of Schumacher, referring to him as her ‘Italian mama,’ exemplifies the strong bonds formed.
