Dinner Incredible was born in the midst of the global pandemic from the idea of the award-winning Sardinian chef Giorgio Diana. Born in Cagliari in 1982 and raised in Munich, Chef Giorgio Diana has a cosmopolitan soul, an adventurous spirit and a great curiosity about different types of cuisine but above all about different world traditions and cultures.
“With love and passion” has always been the way of thinking of chef Giorgio Diana. Thus the Dinner Incredible project was born in 2020, made up of a team of 12 world-famous chefs (just like the apostles of the past) who together will go around bringing peace and love and discovering new ingredients, thus supporting small producers and sustainability of the territory. “Play global, eat local” is the motto of this incredible dinner.

Dinner incredible is not a competition between chefs, but rather a cultural exchange between colleagues that unites different religions, traditions, skin colors and cultures, all in the same kitchen, thus putting together a 12-course menu using only typical and seasonal products.
“Food connecting People” is a message of pure passion, harmony and collaboration between different peoples, erasing every form of war and racism present today.
