Davide Tonucci

Born and raised in a seaside town on the Italian east coast, Davide’s passion for food was ignited as a child, watching and helping his mamma and nonna make fresh pasta.

In his 20’s he began working in local seafood restaurants. He spent time developing his craft under the supervision of a Michelin star chef - and later earned the position of head chef for a well-renowned restaurant in his hometown.

Davide's love of travel, adventure and new experiences brought him to Australia in 2011 - and he quickly found his feet in kitchens across Sydney’s fine dining scene.

A love for fresh seasonal produce drives Davide's food, as he prepares classic and modern dishes - always with an equal portion of both Italy and Australia in his heart.

Davide's eye for plating, styling and food photography is celebrated through his Instagram account.
