Chef Manuel D'amico
Private Chef in New York City
Get to know me better
Passionate about food and loves to bring new delicious plates to the table!
I’m a chef with ten years of professional kitchen experience, originally trained and working across Italy. During that time I worked in several regions and kitchens, learning a wide range of techniques and flavors from many talented chefs. I’m now based in the United States, working with Antica Pesa Brooklyn and Gelateria Gentile, where I continue to refine my approach to seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking.
I love creating memorable meals that combine Italian tradition with the influences I’ve gathered abroad — and I’m excited to share my skills and passion with guests through thoughtful, personal dining experiences.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Other than cooking being my passion, it allows me to express my best self and it's a place where I feel I truly belong.
I learned to cook at...
My passion started from the grandma in the house kitchen, in a small neighborhood in Calabria, Italy. I started studying from there forth.
A cooking secret...
My secret in the kitchen is definitely to intergrate passion, love and curiosity in my plates.
