Born in 1989 and of Apulian descent, Michele Cobuzzi came to the world of cooking through
family. Growing up in the countryside in close contact with nature, he has since childhood,
in fact, learned from his parents the love of genuine raw materials and agriculture.
On the family farm, nestled among olive groves, fruit trees, vegetables and livestock,
Michele soon developed a propensity to take care of ingredients, to
to wait and respect the rhythms of nature and to appreciate simple and genuine cuisine,
respectful of the land. From his mother, he learned the first traditional Apulian recipes; the
passion and determination, combined with creativity, led him to enroll in the school's
hotelier in Foggia and working in restaurants, since the age of 14. After graduation, he
his journey into the gastronomic world began: a journey that touched almost all the
Italian regions with a brief experience abroad in Ireland. The path of Michele Cobuzzi
is studded with great masters and important collaborations: from the one, at only 23 years old, with
Gordon Ramsey in Siena (in La Contrada Restaurant), to the kitchen of Bracali Restaurant (** 2
Michelin stars) in Maremma. These were followed by other high-level experiences: at
Milan in Il luogo Aimo e Nadia (** 2 Michelin stars) and at Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence (***
3 Michelin stars). As of 2021, Michele Cobuzzi is executive chef of Anima (* 1 Michelin star).
