The One Star Chef

"The chef who flipped the online review ecosystem on its head."
The Hustle
4 images of Davide Cerretini. The first is a black and white image of him smiling in his restaurant, wearing a white chef coat. In the second it is a colour photo and he is holding two plates of food and gesturing with his finger raised. The third is also colour and he is jokingly holding a knife to his throat, wearing a triped apron. The fourth is black and white and he is in his restaurant wearing a white chef coat and raising a glass of wine to the camera with a smile on his face.

Chef Davide Cerretini is as entertaining as he is controversial.


Where others seek conformity, Davide embraces distinctiveness. He goes where others fear to tread, charting his own path in the culinary world and beyond.


You can rest assured that his food is as authentic as his personality.

A larger than life character, he holds nothing back when it comes to stirring the pot.
