Let's be honest, Biella offers amazing food for one \r
\r
reason only: The REAL chef, MADI AMIRA. I have \r
\r
been to Biella several times in the past. I only \r
\r
noticied an incredible difference when a new chef de cusine started in 2008. His creativity and simply tasteful Tuscan dishes put him at the top of my list in \r
\r
Minneapolis, St. Paul dining. I can say without a doubt who actually creates the food at Biella. If I come to the resturant on a day when Madi is not in charge, I know it will not be as good of an experience. I have had the chance to meet with him personally a couple times and know his more than 8 years of cooking experience in Florence, Italy is what sets him apart. \r
\r
I also think it's pretty obvious from reviews below \r
\r
(i.e. ""We would like to apologize for our boss."" and \r
\r
Never go there unless you want to be berated!!!! ) why \r
\r
he doesn't get the credit he deserves.\r
\r
But back to the food, as that is most important. Madi's \r
\r
pastas, seafood and espcially his homemade Tiramasu are \r
\r
the best in Minnesota. Chef Madi creates dishes that \r
\r
leave me coming for more and I would continue to go \r
\r
where he cooks. That's the real story.
