our chef

leonardo iacometti

Originally from Tuscany, where his grandmother had a restaurant, Leonardo has a fascination for the starred restaurants where he had the chance to be trained to become the chef he is today. For Leonardo, taste is the most important part of his cuisine. A cuisine centred on the ingredients. One that should be authentic, good, fresh and seasonal. But above all, he is focused on delivering the utmost refined and tasty gastronomic experience his cooking can provide.

"Passion and curiosity drive me every day to seek excellence, try out new recipes, and improve. For me, cooking is not just about lighting a fire or holding a pan; it's much more than it seems. To me, it's an act of love, the deepest act of love. Transmitting my passion for food to people through my dishes is my mission."
