Chef Gianni Bovenzi
Private Chef In LondonGet to know me better
A true passion for cooking that has been handed down for generations.Selection of seasonal organic products, only fresh products and a variety of dish
My name is Gianni Bovenzi, I come from a small town in Campania (ITALY) of only 6000 people, where everything is produced at home, vegetables, cheeses, tomato sauce, bread and many other things. What I mean is that I grew up in a family who taught me the tradition of our cuisine. At 15 I started the professional cooking school which gave me many other experiences in the sector, I had my first job in the kitchen at the age of 16 in a hotel in Molise Italy, up to to reach the age of 18 to work with Rosanna Marziale 1 Michelin Star, continuing the diploma in the same year. After several experiences at the age of 26 I decided to leave for London also here as a freelancer I had the opportunity to work with many Chefs such as Michael Nadra and many others.
