Get to know me better

I am passionate, creative, focused, and hardworking, with a strong attention to detail and a constant goal of exceeding customer expectations.

I bring over 15 years of diverse culinary experience, having worked in some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens.

After graduating from Hospitality School in Novara in 2009, my career began at the five-star Westin Excelsior in Venice, where I built a strong foundation in classical European techniques. I then expanded my international experience at the Mandarin Oriental in Bermuda, where I spent two years refining my skills in luxury hospitality.

After relocating to Australia, I spent four years as Sous Chef at the acclaimed fine dining restaurant Villa D’Este, before joining Modo Mio Cucina Italiana at Crown Perth. Over seven years at Modo Mio, I progressed from Senior Chef de Partie to Head Chef, a role I’ve held for the past two years. Since stepping into the Head Chef position, our team has proudly earned two consecutive Gold Plate Awards, recognising our commitment to excellence, consistency, and innovation in Italian cuisine.

My constant goal is to exceed customer expectations by delivering refined, flavoursome dining experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Antonino was friendly, accommodating, and attentive. He kept in constant communication leading up to the event and provided an excellent 3 course meal for our company. Would recommend highly!

It was our first time using Take a Chef, and Antonio was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations and was truly unforgettable. The quality of the food was outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and prepared to an exceptionally high standard. As each course was served, Antonio took the time to explain the menu, the ingredients, and the inspiration behind each dish, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. Antonio was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the occasion. Our overall experience was priceless, and we couldn't have asked for a better chef. We highly recommend Antonio for any event or special occasion and would not hesitate to book him again
