“Giorgio has been involved with several groundbreaking Italian restaurants in London, most notably Zafferano, where he earned his first Michelin star in 1999. In 2002, Giorgio and his wife, Flaxy, opened their first independent restaurant, Locanda Locatelli, which gained a Michelin star in its first year. Giorgio has a very successful TV career and has co-written a cookbook with restaurateur Tony Allan, called Tony and Giorgio. Giorgio is currently working on his second book, to be published in ...2006.
