Fernando Thomas
Born in Campania on Oct. 13, 1990, the same day as St. Francis Caracciolo, patron saint of Italy’s chefs, he began working in the kitchen when he was only 14 years old at the Savoy Beach Hotel in Paestum, where he met chef Gioacchino Nocera.
Thanks to Nocera, he discovered gourmet catering and developed his passion, working with great chefs such as Di Costanzo, Michel Bras, Anne-Sophie Pic, Alinea, Andrea Aprea, and Berton.
At 25, he became Executive Sous Chef at Emanuele Mazzella’s “Vespasia” restaurant, where he expressed his creativity.
His cuisine is based on tradition andinnovation, aimed at creating emotions and welcoming with warmth, reflecting the hospitality of Southern Italy. Marc Pierre White is one of his main sources of inspiration. At 28, he became executive chef at La Bottega restaurant in Geneva, earning a Michelin Star.
In 2020, he returned to Italy, working first at Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany and then at Castello di Reschio in Umbria, focusing on essential cuisine that enhances local products.
Currently, he is involved in a new restaurant project in the Langhe with Arborina.
