For twenty years, Alessandro Pavoni has helped pioneer Italian dining in Sydney. He is executive chef and owner at three of the city's top restaurants, Ormeggio at The Spit, Chiosco by Ormeggio and a'Mare Sydney. Pavoni's favourite childhood food memories involve plenty of meat, pizza and pasta, but a series of health scares inspired a shift in his diet—and it's a philosophy that has followed him into the kitchen. Plus, The Bear is back with a 'full-bodied' second season that cuts close to home for many in the hospitality industry.
