i. Biography
Luca Piscazzi has been Head Chef at Pelagos in Athens, Greece, since 2020, where seasonal raw ingredients are turned into dishes that keep rich flavours, subtle aromas, and varied textures clear on the plate. His Caviar Pasta, an artfully refined dish inspired by eating leftover pasta from the fridge, shows how exact the cooking can be while still feeling personal. "My biggest lesson from Pelagos on Tour? Cherish life’s simple pleasures – genuine hospitality, the ease of slow living and nature’s gifts in their purest form."
