"My kitchen journey began at just six years old, rolling out fresh pasta with my Neapolitan grandmother"
Born into a family with deep Neapolitan roots, Giacomo’s passion for food sparked in early childhood. He went on to formalize his love for gastronomy at the culinary institute in Florence before setting off to explore the diverse culinary landscapes of Europe, honing his craft first in Valencia and later in Paris.
Throughout his career, Giacomo has evolved into a versatile chef who marries the rustic, soulful traditions of Southern Italy with the sophisticated techniques of European gastronomy. He views the kitchen as a space for constant innovation, where his background in traditional Italian cookery meets a modern, international flair.
When he isn't in the kitchen, Giacomo channels his vibrant creative energy into a wide world of personal passions—from contemporary art and tattoo culture to cinema and tending to his garden.
