I try to write to you our impressions about our experience with
Mr.Tokuoka. Before the beginning of the Salone del Gusto, they
said that the most important Chef in Japan comes in our hotel
to make a dinner and we were very happy to know him, but at
same time worried.
Working together we had start to know and it was great because
Mr.Tokuoka he is simple but the he is simple the best the best
looking for the better food the best to find out the taste for
the Italian people with the ingredients of a foreigner country
with the simplicity you can find the better goals. I and my
staff are very proud to know him because we have had the opportunity
to know the real Japanese kitchen well made and well presented.
We have work together and we have learned by each other that
the passion for the kitchen, the good food it's always the same.
If you have something to tell in your life it doesn’t matter
which kind of job you do. It's the passion that comes out and
in the kitchen I think it's the most important thing.
And Mr.Tokuoka had transmitted very much of his passion in the
plate that have done in that evening. However we remember well
also the unforgettable night that we have past together only
who think in the same way, and only who believe that almost
all its possible thinking about can do a good DINNER.
We have a good Souvenir about this Salone del Gusto, simple
perfect him and his taste. We cannot forget his Mushrooms
in the cup with white eggs and the Cod Fish
and the Carpaccio of Italian meat in the Japanese
style with potatoes pure crispy garlic and skin of chicken Wasabi
soya sauce extra olive oil Ardoino.
I and my staff have had the opportunity to work with other Japanese
Chef but with Mr.Tokuoka was the best way to think about the
kitchen. This is another good reason to come and see by my self
the great Japanese Kitchen.
Thank you for all
My best regards

Chef Daniele Giolitto
Meridien-lingotto Torpedo restaurant
The Torpedo restaurant is one of the most evocative features
of the hotel. Its name is a tribute to the extraordinary vehicle
built in the old Lingotto factory. The Torpedo ''brigade'',
led by the chef Daniele Giolitto, offers the most creative
chef cuisine, based on recipes which combine the high quality
Italian regional tradition to the avant-garde trends. The
restaurant thus becomes one of the finest examples of the
''author cuisine'' and an attraction both for the hotel guests
and the Turiners.
Daniele Giolitto has worked in some of the most renowned Italian
hotels and has been the author of prestigious banquets. One
example is the inauguration of the Giovanni e Marella Agnelli
Picture Gallery. The Agnelli family invited to the event the
most distinguished representatives of the international political
and industrial world, such as Henry Kissinger.
