The Armani Group entered the restaurant world in 1998 – with its first Paris location – sparking global expansion. Since then, over twenty venues have opened – adjacent to brand boutiques and within hotels – enriching the customer experience. Each of them showcases the design ethos of the brand, seamlessly integrating elements from the Armani/Casa furnishing collection. Menus adapt to local tastes – from casual lunches to fine dining – while honouring Italian cuisine with regional nuances. Boasting a strong presence across three continents, our restaurants engage patrons in a culinary journey that embodies the Armani lifestyle, highlighting meticulous attention to detail, sophisticated flavours, and an atmosphere that reflects its values and aesthetic.
“I always wanted the Armani brand to become an expression of style as a lifestyle, of sophisticated simplicity as a sign of elegance in every field, and food that is one of the most important elements of everyday life could not be missing.”
OUR CHEFS
Discover how culinary traditions, innovative techniques and fine flavours come together through the skillful hands of our chefs.
A cuisine linked to our memories and identity. Italian excellences always take centre stage in our dishes, as we want to offer our customers a unique journey through Italy’s cooking culture. It feels like a round trip around Italy without getting on a plane.
Cooking, to me, is storytelling — and the most honest stories begin with ingredients. I dedicate time to sourcing and understanding the finest raw materials, because true quality doesn’t need to be hidden — only elevated. My approach blends tradition with innovation. I use modern techniques to enhance flavour, texture, and presentation, always with a light touch. At its heart, each dish should feel authentic, refined, and unmistakably Italian — even when it speaks with a global accent.
The salty beach air with the intense taste of fresh vegetables and vibrant colors are essential memories for me. Throughout the years, they mixed with techniques and ingredients from all around Italy and foreign countries. This is how I came up with my Mediterranean cooking style - an easy and exciting, flavor-rich cuisine that is evolving day by day.
My cooking is grounded in tradition, sustainability and seasonality, yet I draw inspiration from the vibrant atmosphere of the Big Apple, allowing its cosmopolitan flair to shape my dishes.
I’m a chef from Naples with a profound appreciation for Japanese cuisine. My perspective, shaped by Italian and Spanish culinary traditions, shifted dramatically upon discovering Japan’s refined approach to cooking. I was captivated by its simplicity, precision, and meticulous attention to detail. That experience led me to fuse these qualities with my own heritage – forming the essence of my culinary style. Today, I bring together Italian ingredients, Spanish flair and Japanese technique – allowing each to complement the other in perfect harmony.
A fundamental part of my approach is fostering strong connections with suppliers throughout Japan. By visiting farms and immersing myself in the careful craftsmanship behind the ingredients, I ensure each dish conveys a story deeply rooted in authenticity and respect for its origins.
My cooking combines Italy’s rich culinary heritage with international inspirations. I cook what I like to eat and, since my tastes are simple, mine cannot be defined as an intellectual cuisine. I start from traditional recipes, but I elevate them through a minimalist presentation and an unpredictable balance of complementary textures and flavours.
