Chef Giuseppe Di Iorio

Chef Giuseppe Di Iorio comes from a family with strong Roman and Calabrian roots. His father initiated him in the world of cooking at a very early age, teaching him to appreciate the authentic flavors of his local culinary tradition. After graduating from hospitality school in Rome, Di Iorio launched his career at Ristorante Margutta before moving to London to work at the prestigious Hyde Park Hotel under the guidance of Giuseppe Sestito, the first Executive Chef from Italy at this famous London locale. He returned to the Italian capital and entered the hotel restaurant business, first at the Hotel Inghilterra and then at the Parco dei Principi. In 2005, he joined his former mentor Sestito at the Michelin-starred Mirabelle in the Hotel Spendide Royal, where he had the opportunity to hone his expert skills cooking for a distinguished group of international clients from celebrities to heads of state.

Di Iorio became Executive Chef at Aroma in 2010 and received his first Michelin star in 2014.
