Our Story
Meet Chef Marcio
Chef Márcio’s journey began in 1989, washing dishes in an Italian kitchen where his love for cooking was born. Raised in Brazil with a strong work ethic, he found his passion in Italian cuisine and spent decades honing his craft in kitchens around the world. Today, every dish he creates is a tribute to tradition, made with care, presence, and deep respect for the art of food.
A Family Business
From washing dishes and cleaning homes, to owning their own restaurant – Marcio and Magda’s journey is one of heart, hard work and hope. After 32 years working in Italian kitchens across the world, Marcio’s dream finally came to life – and with it, a family legacy. This isn’t just a restaurant – it’s our way of life.
