LUCATRESOLDI “The Artisan tells the story of Italy through its dishes paired with the finest ingredients. Each dish has been reimagined for the contemporary cosmopolitan palate.”
Born in Milan, it was here where Luca began his career as a chef. At the tender age of 15, Luca attended culinary school to help further his dreams of becoming a top chef. He then got his first professional kitchen job at the renowned Restaurant Ribot in Milan. He then moved to London to work for the legendary Italian chef Alberico Penati at Harri’s Bar, the legendary Annabel’s Club and at the chic Mayfair private members club Aspinall’s. Luca’s passion and desire to continue to develop meant that his next steps would take him to Paris. It was his London mentor Alberico Penati that helped with his next move to Paris by recommending Luca to Joel Robuchon. With no hesitation Robuchon took Luca on and added him to his kitchen team at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Saint-Germain, Paris. After almost two years, he received an invitation to work with Italy’s finest, the multi-awardwinning Florentine institution Enoteca Pinchiorri. Back to his roots with a new challenge, it was a dream for Luca to work for the best and he worked closely with Riccardo Monco and Italo Bassi; perfecting true, authentic, world-class Italian dishes. In 2015, Annie Féolde and her team were presented an opportunity to open a fresh, new and exciting strand of the Enoteca Pinchiorri brand in Dubai. Luca’s love for travelling and his curiosity meant that after his 4 years in Florence he was the perfect man to lead the kitchen for this new adventure, with the venue opening early 2016 in Dubai’s financial district. Luca stays true to the roots and Italian heritage leading the kitchen of The Artisan with an exciting blend of all his experience coming to each plate.
