Northern Italian, Contemporary California
As evidenced by his charming accent, Gianfranco Minuz is an Italian native. Born and raised in Venice, Chef Gianfranco is a proud purveyor of Northern Italian cuisine and everything he touches turns to gold. He honed his skills under three-starred Michelin chef Gualtiero Marchesi, as the line cook for San Domenico, a two-starred Michelin restaurant, and as Sous Chef for two-starred Boscheti, before opening his own restaurant, Ca' Masierei, in the Northern Italian town of Trissino. There he earned his first Michelin star.
Ten years later, Chef Gianfranco left Italy for Southern California to work as Executive Chef at Trattoria Tre Venezie in Pasadena, where he earned himself a second Michelin star. Look for Chef Gianfranco on Saturdays at the Santa Monica farmer’s market, where he can be found admiring the fresh fare.
