i. Biography
Executive Chef at Manhatta in New York City from 2025 marks Michele Brogioni’s current post, but the title sits on top of a career built the hard way: through kitchens that reward timing, stamina, and control. The line from Italy to Moscow to Manhattan is visible in the work itself—an Italian foundation carried into larger, higher-pressure rooms without losing its discipline.
The Path
Kitchen craft in Italy set the standard early: exacting pace, tight execution, and no room for drift. Michele Brogioni worked as Head Chef at Italy’s Formula One racing team in Italy, then as sous chef at Ristorante Dell’Amorosa in Sinalunga, Italy, before moving on to Head Chef at Il Falconiere in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy. Each post added weight to a cooking style rooted in Italian professional practice. The move to Moscow in 2002 widened the field without changing the terms of the job. Michele Brogioni worked as chef at Le Duc in Moscow, Russia (from 2002) and chef at Turandot in Moscow, Russia (from 2002), bringing his Italian base into a more international setting. The shift marked a broader stage, but still demanded the same kitchen fundamentals: consistency, precision, and resilience. New York became the next test of scale. Michele Brogioni served as Executive Chef at The Leopard at des Artistes in New York City, New York, USA (2015–2016), then Executive Chef at Armani/Ristorante in New York City, New York, USA (2016–2022). In both rooms, the work centered on leadership and repeatable standards, the sort of pressure that comes with high-profile dining and leaves little space for improvisation. That trajectory expanded further as Michele Brogioni became Global Culinary Director at Core: Club New York in New York City, New York, USA (until 2025), a role that pushed the work beyond a single pass through service and into broader culinary direction. In 2025, he moved into his current role as Executive Chef at Manhatta in New York City, New York, USA (from 2025), continuing a career that has stayed anchored in professional rigor from Italy to Manhattan.
The Work Today
From 2025, Brogioni has been Executive Chef at Manhatta in New York City. The position places Michele Brogioni at the top of a major New York kitchen, with an Italian background and senior New York experience carrying into the same room. The line is clear: Italian formation, then international scale, then New York leadership.
