Private Chef Gio Fasano

Get to know me better

It's important to be creative in every section of our life

Before leaping into the world of food, he worked for construction companies in Europe and the Middle East. He also worked on week ends at Oddbins in London where he learned about wines from the “new world”...

Gio’s education is varied. He started with engineering at the George Washington University in DC and moved to architecture with a degree from the Catholic University of America. After college he spent a year working on organic farms in Tuscany, where he harvested wine grapes, and planted an olive orchard. In the past ten years he has shared his honest adventures in the kitchen with many guests from all over the world; he has founded the “Puglia Chef Academy” and the “Olive Wood Cafe” in Ostuni.

When not working on cooking and eating food, he blows off steam (and calories) sailing off the coast of Puglia, where he lives. Gio is an avid supporter of the arts, owner of too many cookbooks and loves classic cars.
