After one year in business, the most authoritative gastronomic guides listed him among the leading chefs of Italian cuisine. And only five years later, in 2008, he received the Ambrogino d’Oro medal from the City of Milan.
As result of many of his satellite projects based on his culinary art, Oldani's career has made great progress. In 2013, he was invited to Harvard to describe his experience as an entrepreneur following a case study of his restaurant which had been published in the Harvard Business School Review. Moreover, he authored several books, including Storie di sport e cucina (Stories of Sport and Cuisine, 2013), CheFacile (SoEasy, 2013), “Pop Food” (2015), D’O eat better (2016). In 2015, he also gave a lecture at the HEC Business School in Paris, was nominated an EXPO 2015 Ambassador and participated in the World Business Forum in Milan as a speaker.
