Niko Romito - Abruzzo Region

After studying business, Niko took over the family
restaurant in a small town in Abruzzo, where his
passion for cooking blossomed and he became a
self-taught master-chef. Today, the Ristorante Reale
is one of the world’s leading restaurants, and the
sixteenth-century monastery that houses it also
hosts a school for talented youngsters looking to
pursue a career in high-end restaurants.
