"Food should not just satisfy the palate, but also the eyes," he said, adding that his dream is to travel all over the world to share Italian culture.

When asked what cooking means to him, the chef said, "Cooking for me is not just making a meal; it is also a way to recollect old memories with your loved ones. It is also a way to create new memories and new experiences."

Talking about his visit to Pune, the chef said he was excited to discover a new city in India. "I am also very excited to try the famous Maharashtrian food," he added.

"A trip to Italy, without going to Italy," is how Chef Davide describes his 10-day event in Pune.
