Business owner information

Luciano C.

Business Owner

As a young boy in Milano, Chef Luciano Cibelli's early life was infused with a passion and respect for cooking. After perfecting his family's traditional Italian techniques, he set off to broaden his horizons in Koln Germany at the prestigious La Vita restaurant when he was 27. There, Luciano was introduced to chefs of both German and Indian descent, and together they began to discuss the art of cooking, and fusing their cultures to form new and exciting cuisines. Chef Luciano continues to refine his combination of classic Italian cooking, selective and spirited use of local ingredients and personable approach to service. His dishes evoke the simple pleasure of Italian comfort food with a modern flair.
