Bio of the Chef

During his experience as Executive Chef of St. Regis Rome, Francesco Donatelli has pursued the excellence that this iconic hotel represents in the panorama not only of tourism but also of culture in the city of Rome.
As evidence of a refined culinary heritage, his cuisine aspires to a harmony between centuries-old tradition and a modern interpretation, in a continuous research that draws inspiration from the art of this extraordinary city and from the simple but unique flavors of this land, to satisfy international guests and lead them on a journey that began with an idea, reworked by expert hands and an attentive eye to detail and culminated in a dish that is the synthesis of stylistic elegance and delicate tasting.
Supported by a strong passion and trained through a long journey between Italy and abroad, he had the opportunity to grow professionally in England, where he was an interpreter of Italian cuisine in an exclusive London club, which boasted Sean Connery among its members. On his return, he became Sous Chef in conjunction with the relaunch of the historic Doney Restaurant, and then he has been transferred to the St. Regis Hotel where, as Executive Chef, he first led the brigade of the kitchen events and then the Vivendo Restaurant and now, following the total renovation of the Hotel, he is at the helm of Lumen, Cocktails & Cuisine.
He made many trips abroad, from the Italian Embassy in Vienna following the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano to the Italian Gastronomic Festival in Japan, to the Viennese one, conceived in collaboration with the Austrian Embassy and the Imperial and Bristol hotels in Vienna.
In summary, its gastronomic identity combines the creative flair of the present with the flavors of the Roman tradition, drawing inspiration from the great masters of the culinary art.
With a reserved soul, tenacious character and curious spirit, he considers the open dialogue with his Team a constant stimulus, as well as a dutiful pleasure to animate the younger generations with enthusiasm and to train them by transmitting them authentic values such as collaboration and a sense of sacrifice, in a constant and constructive dialogue, an inexhaustible source of improvement.
