Bio dello Chef
Born in a small province in the heart of Benevento, Fabio Ciervo grew up nurturing two passions: cooking and sport. Although very different activities, both taught him the need for discipline and sacrifice, placing a strong influence on his personality and professionalism. Sport gave Fabio the realisation that good nutrition is essential, and this has remained the basis of his inspiration throughout his culinary career. Exposed to food at a very young age, Fabio Ciervo started his training to become a chef at the age of 14. In 2003, Fabio began his career at Hotel Eden as Adriano Cavagnini’s executive sous-chef. He then worked abroad alongside chef Michael Roux at the Waterside Inn restaurant, Heston Blumenthal, Martin Berasategui and Thomas Keller, and acquired further international experience.
All the while Fabio continued to study and expand his knowledge. Alongside working for some of the best chefs in the world, in his spare time Fabio took regular trips to renowned French cooking school, École Lenôtre, participating in a range of workshops and exploring the various techniques involved in the art of chocolate and pastry-making. Fabio then returned to Hotel Eden as La Terrazza and Il Giardino’s executive chef in 2010. When the hotel underwent a 17 month restoration, he continued his studies, visiting Michelin-starred restaurants around the world and obtaining a Master’s degree in nutrition.
In this period, he also developed a new cooking philosophy based on the following five pillars: innovation, wellness, ingredients, taste and art. After only seven months, following the reopening of Hotel Eden, executive chef Fabio Ciervo was awarded a Michelin Star for La Terrazza. The highly sought-after accreditation was presented by the Italian edition of the renowned Michelin Guide on Thursday, November 16, 2017.
