Guest Chef Dinner: Francesco Mazzei

Passione Vino is making history with our very first Chef Takeover, and we couldn’t ask for a better culinary master to inaugurate this special occasion than the legendary Francesco Mazzei.
A true ambassador of Southern Italian cuisine, Chef Mazzei has built an impressive career at some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens, from The Dorchester in London to La Terrazza dell’Eden in Rome. His signature approach—rooted in his Calabrian heritage yet elevated with a modern touch—has made him one of Italy’s most celebrated chefs, leading acclaimed restaurants like L’Anima, Sartoria, Radici, and Fiume.
