Italian Chef Enzo Neri - Introducing myself !
Enzo Neri was born in 1971, in Citta' di Castello, an Umbrian town in the Province of Perugia, in the heart of Italy. He studied Information Technology but at 29 years old was "discovered" by Enrico Braganti, Head Chef of Villa Buitoni, whilst he was studying at the culinary school, Universita' dei Sapori di Perugia. His next step was to work at the prestigious restaurant, Il Postale di Marco e Barbara (1 Michelin star) in his native Citta' di Castello under the guidance of his mentor patron, Chef Marco Bistarelli (President of the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe in Italy). Working under him was critical to Enzo's skills and professional development. It was there that he learnt the foundation, technique and knowledge that are the basis of the cuisine for which he is well known: the re-interpretation and modernisation of traditional Italian dishes.

From 2003 to 2006 Enzo worked in England including a year as Head Chef at the Kings Arms Hotel, a gastro pub in the Cotswolds. He then had further experience with Fabio Trabocchi at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington DC as well as in Madrid with Elias Murciano. Back to England, from February 2007 until January 2009, Enzo has been Head Chef at Pappagallo Restaurant in Curzon Street, Mayfair in Central London.
Since the beginning of 2009 Enzo is Chef de Cuisine of Rococo, the fine dining restaurant at Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach in the United Arab Emirates.
