100617 Veteran Italian Chef Alfonso Iaccarino was born into a family of hoteliers which spans four generations.
100618 So when the young Chef Iaccarino announced to his family that he was going to open his own restaurant after he had graduated, it came as no surprise that they disapproved of the idea.
100619 But he persisted with his dream and opened Don Alfonso 1890 within his family hotel in the southern Italian town of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi.
100620 Over the years, Chef Iaccarino has carved out a reputation as a studious chef, one who diligently tries to understand and experience other cultures; while also being a scholar in Italian cuisine, mastering the 3000-year food and wine tradition of the Italian south.
100621 Purists will be delighted to know that Chef Iaccarino grows his own herbs, fruits and vegetables, and every meal at his restaurant contains the purest of ingredients that are sowed in the mineral rich region of Campania.
