Castille Paris – Starhotels Collezione announces the appointment of Marco Terenghi as Executive Chef of L’Assaggio, the hotel’s refined Italian restaurant. A young and highly talented chef, Terenghi brings a contemporary sensibility to Italy’s great culinary traditions, shaping a distinctive gastronomic experience defined by elegance and precision.

Located within the walls of Castille Paris, L’Assaggio offers an intimate and sophisticated setting where Italian cuisine is expressed in its most refined form. Since 2016, the restaurant’s menu has borne the prestigious signature of Ugo Alciati, Michelin-starred chef (1*) and the name behind the historic Guido Ristorante in Serralunga d’Alba, as well as internationally recognized Italian Truffle Ambassador.

For over a decade, L’Assaggio has stood as a Parisian representative of Italian gastronomic excellence, celebrating a culinary heritage recently recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Here, tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously, guided by a team deeply committed to hospitality and culinary rigor, offering guests a true sensory journey through Italy’s regional flavors.

Marco Terenghi’s professional path has been shaped by formative experiences in renowned Michelin-starred establishments, including Le Jardin de Berne, Villa Pignano, and notably alongside Ugo Alciati. These years allowed him to refine his technique and develop a deep understanding of both Italian and French culinary cultures.

After several years as Sous-Chef at L’Assaggio, Terenghi continued his career journey before returning today to the restaurant in his new role as Executive Chef.

His appointment reflects Castille Paris’ commitment to nurturing internal talent while ensuring continuity and excellence at the highest level. With a strong focus on seasonality and product integrity, Terenghi’s cuisine enhances exceptional ingredients while remaining firmly rooted in Italy’s culinary heritage.

The iconic Piedmontese recipes conceived by Ugo Alciati, including Vitello Tonnato and the legendary Agnolotti di Mamma Lidia, will continue to play a central role on the menu. True symbols of Piedmont’s culinary identity, these dishes will live on through Terenghi’s thoughtful and respectful interpretation. Alongside them, the menu will also feature some of the new Executive Chef’s signature creations, such as Linguine with lobster bisque, red shrimps, and sun-dried tomatoes, a refined expression of Mediterranean flavors.

Marco Terenghi’s appointment marks a new chapter in the culinary story of L’Assaggio. Thanks to his technical mastery, intimate knowledge of the restaurant and close collaboration with Ugo Alciati, he ensures a seamless dialogue between tradition and innovation, offering guests a renewed and contemporary Italian dining experience in the heart of Paris.
