Born in Brazil.
Born in Brazil and raised with simplicity and hard work, he discovered in Italian cuisine his greatest passion and his most enduring school.

Kitchens across the world.
Over the years, he refined his skills working in Italian kitchens across the world.
“Little by little, he learned to hear the rhythm of a sauce, to recognise the perfect point of a risotto, and to understand that cooking is not just technique — it is presence, respect, and memory.”
“Chef Marcio is a true magician in the kitchen”
