Marco Bellandi

Marco grew up between his grandmother's kitchen in Liguria and the fish market where his father worked. Eighteen years later he still begins every day at the market, deciding the evening's specials by what arrives on the boats.

Before opening the Arshan kitchen he cooked in trattorias in Genoa and Florence and ran the grill at a busy coastal restaurant. His menus are short, seasonal and honest – a few excellent ingredients, cooked with confidence.
