Hello there, I’m chef Gabriele Rotunno. I’m Italian from Puglia. I get my degree by Istituto Eccelsa (40 prestigious school of kitchen in the world for the world association of chefs ) in 2016. During my career I worked for Michelin restaurants , and I became chef for the first time at 23 years old, in Milano. When I was 25 I was reviewed as the executive chef of the restaurant “Medí” in Puglia , by the critic of “Il corriere della Sera” (a national Italian paper) that said of me “a young talented executive chef , with critical eye in the serving and taste, a magnificent surprise”. Then I came to New York where I work as executive chef and private chef . Please don’t send me direct lead if you’re not sure about your event .
