Chef’s Story
Fabio Flagiello, who grew up near Trieste, cultivated his passion for cooking at the age of 14. With over forty years of experience abroad, he has honed his skills working in some of the most prestigious kitchens in the world: from the Hotel Danieli in Venice to the starred restaurants in Paris, where he attended the Ecole Lenotre for pastry and collaborated with Maison Troigros. In 1990 he moved to the United States, where he opened successful restaurants such as Fabio Trattoria and Fabio Ristorante in Los Angeles, Risibisi in Sonoma, and Pastavino in Boulder. Recognized as one of the best chefs in Sonoma, Boulder and Los Angeles, Fabio has had the honor of cooking for international celebrities such as Sting, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Andy Garcia. His passion for cycling and the culinary arts led him to found Fabio Tours, an experience that combines adventure, culture and gastronomy in various regions of Italy. Each tour passes through breathtaking landscapes between vineyards and historic villages, enriched by typical dishes of the Italian food and wine culture: on these occasions, Chef Fabio personally prepares local dishes with fresh and quality ingredients, pairing a wide range of fine wines. Now, back in Italy, he has created the Bettola dell’Eroico, a place where he expresses his vision of Italian cuisine and pays homage to the values of slow tourism, dynamic lifestyle and authentic conviviality.
