    i. Biography

    The Path

    A kitchen’s pull showed up early for Riccardo Di Giacinto, who entered the trade at 16, before the current spotlight on chefs had settled in. That early entry frames the rest of his work: a direct move from first service into a profession he describes as immediate, not accidental. Early in his career, Riccardo worked as chef at Trattoria San Rocco in Monterotondo, north east Rome. Today, Riccardo is Chef Patron of All'Oro (since 2007) and chef of All'Oro Restaurant (since 2007).

    In Their Words “Riccardo Di Giacinto says he started very young, before cooking and chefs drew the attention they do now, and that the moment he entered a kitchen at 16 the work registered immediately as the profession for him.”
