Get to know me better

I bring my knowledge and experience in Italian and fine dining cuisine to your dinner experience.

I have been in the culinary world since I was 15 years old. I am 23 years old and I have provided very good references in the places I have been all this time. I worked mainly in Italian and Fusion kitchens and did my R&D. I used to plate and progress in fine dining evening services. I have been to France and progressed in French cuisine. I have improved myself by negotiating with certain contacts with my B-2 conversational level English and A-1 level Italian.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is a passion for me, a therapy even in my most difficult moments. I give up a lot for this commitment and make a living in the kitchen

I learned to cook at...

I served fine dining at Le palme restaurant. I had the opportunity to work with Daniele and Nello chef. And I was a section chef for 2.5 seasons.

A cooking secret...

I think I can intuit umami flavors and taste harmonies, so I believe I can create a flavor explosion on the palate
