Chef Gaetano Di Benedetto is a native
of the lush Sicilian coastal town of Bagheria. He began as a kitchen apprentice
in Palermo and is a graduate of the prominent IPAS professional culinary
school there. His cooking career spans three decades, maintaining the title
of Executive Chef since 1989 at restaurants throughout Italy, as well as
in France, England and the U.S. While still in Sicily, Gaetano served as
chef at the oppulent Villa Paino, where he was accorded the honor of preparing
state dinners for Italy's President Francesco Cossiga. After leaving Sicily,
Di Benedetto worked in such culinary capitals as London, Paris and Milan
before accepting his first American position in Celebration, Florida, for
Disney.
In 2001 Gaetano was invited by the Italian delegation to serve as chef for Team Italy and government dignitaries at the Olympic Village during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Chef Gaetano invites you to meet him for dinner at La Piazza, where the entire staff will create a truly authentic Italian dining experience for you. |
