Get to know me better

I craft refined dishes with premium ingredients, tasteful presentation and cozy dining experiences.

I come from a multicultural background, Cambodian origins and grew up in an Italian family by the sea. I discovered my passion for cooking as an infant which nurtured my curiosity and playfulness with food, as I grew up, my views didn't change much, I still love to play with bold flavors and different textures to bring each dish to life.

As an Italian, I put heavy emphasis on the quality of each ingredient, which thanks to my experience in different kitchens have taught me how to best use them to orchestrate a beautiful dish.
