Born and raised in Bologna, Italy (the hometown of lasagna and tortellini), Filippo grew up under his grandmother's table, helping her make fresh pasta for family feasts. His university studies would bring him to Florence, Tuscany, where he learned to apprentice Florentine steak, slow cooked meat, strong flavours, local producers, and some of the best wines in the world.
