Head Chef Spotlight

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.

“Good cooking is mostly restraint – choose the best ingredient, then stay out of its way.”Marco Bellandi, Executive Head Chef
