Giorgio Locatelli

Giorgio Locatelli, Locanda Locatelli

"My grandmother always used to tell me that I had to finish all the food on my plate because there were thousands of children go hungry every night around the world.  She was right!  More than one billion people are still going hungry.  Fight Hunger/ Eat Out offers everyone the chance to do something about this."

Giorgio Locatelli was surrounded by good food from an early age as his family ran a Michelin-starred restaurant in northern Italy.

Giorgio is the Patron and Head Chef of Michelin-starred Locanda Locatelli, one of London's most talked-about restaurants. Another key feature at all his restaurants is the welcoming atmosphere, especially for children; Giorgio has two children of his own.

He worked in various restaurants in Italy and Switzerland before travelling to London to work with Anton Edelmann at The Savoy. After a spell in Paris, Giorgio returned to London, becoming head chef at Olivio and then opening his own restaurant, Zafferano, in Knightsbridge.

At Zafferano, Giorgio developed the cooking style that earned him a Michelin star, highlighting the role of good ingredients and often importing them from Italy.
