Chef Gianluca is originally from CZ Lido, Italy. He started working as a dishwasher at 11yrs old. He fell in love with the restaurant business immediately. He would look up to the chefs, dreaming of the day he would be one as well! His passion for food earned him the title of Chef from The Culinary Art Institute of Soverato, IT. While earning his degree, on weekends chef would take the train to Rome to intern at 5 star restaurants! He traveled all over Italy, making a name for himself. It wasn’t long before he was a chef at NOBU, owned by Armani in Milan. From there destiny brought him to Miami to be a chef at Ago, one of Deniro’s restaurants!
