Gnocchi, peas and crisp sage in a pan

Andrew D’Ambrosi

Chef · Restaurateur · Culinary Director · Food Enthusiast

Food with character.
Kitchens built to last.

I’m a chef and restaurant builder with more than two decades spanning fine dining, independent concepts, restaurant groups, boutique hotels and private members’ clubs.

My work begins with flavour and extends through the whole operation: the idea, the menu, the team, the systems and the energy of service. I build places people remember—and kitchens capable of delivering them consistently.

Across cities,
cultures & cuisines.
