Chef Cristian Benvenuto
Chef Cristian Benvenuto was born in Carate Brianza in 1986 and started early, working beside his father in the family pizzeria. After training at the Ballerini Institute in Seregno, he built experience across restaurants and pastry kitchens in Lombardy, then expanded into teaching and consultancy for restaurants and private events. In 2017 he shaped La Filanda as his own creative workshop, bringing together Sicilian inspiration, strong technique, and a personal interest in recovered ingredients and waste reduction. His cooking is direct, detailed, and driven by ingredient quality.
“Put your heart into simple things and you will create a masterpiece.”

Macherio (MB), Italy
Restaurant La Filanda in Macherio brings a Sicilian point of view to the heart of Brianza, inside an 18th-century former silk mill. The dining rooms are elegant and softly lit, with vaulted ceilings that give the space its character, and the welcome is polished, calm, and genuinely warm. It’s a family project that grew beyond its original format and now focuses on a complete restaurant experience, where service, setting, and food work together. Expect a refined table that stays approachable, built for both intimate dinners and special occasions.
