Chef At Home in New York
Get to know me better
Genuine and authentic italian cuisine to fill every belly and warm every heart
Hi! My name is Riccardo and I come from a small town in Tuscany (Italy).
I moved to the US in 2017 and I would be excited to bring the italian culinary tradition to your table. For me cooking is not a job, but a fun hobby that makes me happy. I cook for passion and I am always eager to experiment something new and challenging in my kitchen.
I propose the real italian peasant food that we prepare at home every day, with no distortions or fancy adjustments, just pure and simple joy in the shape of food!

For me, cooking is...
My passion and a way to communicate.
I learned to cook at...
One of the best culinary schools in Italy, but the best place for me to learn is my own kitchen :)
A cooking secret...
