Having been awarded three Michelin stars in only seven years, Niko Romito is known as the king of minimalism with his pure and simple cooking style, in which essential ingredients and a balance of flavours are key. Romito initially studied to be an architect, but his admiration for his family's trattoria has turned him into one of the best chefs in Italy and the world. His restaurant is currently listed as one of the world's top 100 restaurants.
