“My cuisine captures my life.
It is my personal way of connecting with those who sit at my table.
Not a customer, but a travel companion.”

Anthony Genovese was born in France to a Calabrian family. His rigorous French training at the École Hôtelière de Nice and his subsequent experiences in the south of France allowed him to refine his technique. He then returned to Italy, working at Enoteca Pinchiorri, before setting off again for Tokyo, then London, and finally Malaysia. Italy remained close to his heart, and in Ravello he earned his first Michelin star. Later, the desire to create a personal project led him to Rome. In 2003, Il Pagliaccio was born, now awarded 2 Michelin stars.
