"I'm giving up the Michelin star and Milan, which runs too fast, and I'm opening a restaurant in a small village in Liguria.

Chef Riccardo Merli, a 36 years old, has decided to leave his prestigious Michelin-starred restaurant 'l'Olmo di Cornaredo' in Milan and move to a small coastal village called Lingueglietta in Liguria. This decision comes after he married Elena and they decided to start a family, leading them to seek a more tranquil life by the sea. Merli explains that while leaving Milan was not easy, the pull of the Ligurian coast and the opportunity to open his own restaurant, Petricore, made him take this step. He mentions that although he had a comfortable life in Milan, the city moves too fast for him, and he prefers a slower pace. He emphasizes that he does not regret his previous career but wants to create a family-oriented restaurant where prices are moderate. When asked if he aims for another Michelin star, Merli says that while it's not impossible, it's not his main goal at the moment.
