Chef Alessio Banchero

Hailing from Genova, Italy, the prolific Alessio brings more than 20 years of experience in five-star hotels and restaurants to Biscotti, for an exciting new gastronomic era.

Alessio trained at the Nino Bergese Culinary Institute in his home city before embarking on a journey upon which he has shared his passion for Italian cuisine with the world. His first foray out of his home country saw him managing and training a team of 25 chefs at Zeffirino at the Venetian on Las Vegas’ world-famous strip. Here, he was part of the team that won Best Italian Restaurant of Las Vegas two years running, in 2004 and 2005, and led the preparation of fine pastries that were shipped to the Vatican for the Pope.
