Andrea Capasso

The Climb

Training at ALMA, the school founded by Gualtiero Marchesi, gave Andrea Capasso a foundation built on precision, discipline, and the pressure that fine dining requires. From that point, the work moved through the daily demands of professional kitchens and into the role of Head Chef at Le Clarence in Paris, France, where control, restraint, and progression defined the shape of the kitchen around him. By 2025, Capasso had become Executive Chef of Le Clarence. The advancement marked continuity rather than rupture: a steady rise through high-end gastronomy, measured less by display than by consistency, composure, and the ability to earn trust inside a luxury dining room.

Today

At Le Clarence in Paris, France, the language around Andrea Capasso’s leadership stays collective. The emphasis is on the team, the room, and the standards that hold both together. “This distinction above all recognizes a team effort, the daily commitment of those who bring Le Clarence to life, and the trust that has been placed in me.”

In Their Words “It encourages us to continue cooking with heart, to seek true emotion, and to offer each guest a moment of pleasure that lingers in the memory.” “Receiving Two Michelin stars in my first year as Executive Chef is an immense honor.”

Recognition

Andrea's honors include Two Michelin stars (2026).
