On March 28, Saturday, 9am-1pm, renowned Italian Chef Luciano Paolo Nesi shares only the best of an Italian kitchen at a cooking demonstration at The Maya Kitchen.
A native of Tuscany, Italy, Chef Nesi has fond memories of himself and his mother in the kitchen; she doing the cooking, he doing the washing of pots and pans much bigger than he was.
At the age of 12 he started waiting tables and diligently worked himself up to become the skilled chef that he is today.
Chef Nesi is a certified sommelier, a WSET educator and has opened 27 restaurants worldwide in a career than now spans 40 years. He came to the Philippines in 1994 and with Filipino partners established L’Opera to provide the local scene with an “uncompromising, authentic Italian dining experience.”
