Adriano

Adriano grew up in Milan surrounded by the discipline of Italian home cooking before earning his formal training at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the city — one of Italy's most demanding culinary environments. What he took from that experience was not just technique, but philosophy: that the best meal is always honest, seasonal, and never over-complicated.

His path then took him east. A season in Tokyo introduced him to a completely different kind of culinary precision — the Japanese obsession with texture, temperature, and the small rituals that surround a meal. That contrast — Mediterranean warmth against Japanese exactness — became the engine behind what myCHEF has grown into.

Adriano arrived in Bali in 2015 and saw something nobody had done well yet: private dining for villa guests that matched the quality of a fine restaurant, delivered inside someone's home. He founded myCHEF in 2019 and has grown the team to over 50 hospitality professionals since then.

Today, Adriano still leads every signature tasting experience, manages recipe development across the full menu catalogue, and personally trains each new head chef before they run a booking on their own. If you are booking a milestone anniversary, a VIP dinner, or a romantic proposal in Bali, there is a strong chance Adriano is the one standing in your villa kitchen.
