He is executive chef at Locanda Verde, which he co-owns with Robert DeNiro. Then, ready for a place to call his own, Andrew opened A Voce in New York, where he cooked from 2006 to 2008, won his first Michelin star, and produced his first book, Urban Italian: True Stories and Simple Recipes From a Life In Food, which was named one of the best cookbooks of 2008 by Gourmet, Publishers Weekly, and Good Morning America. He has worked at San Domenico in New York at the Michelin two-star San Domenico in Emilio-Romagna with Gray Kunz at Lespinasse at Le Cirque and at Café Boulud. His entire career-from working at the local Italian joint in his hometown of Cleveland at age 14 to his responsibility for one of Esquire magazine’s best restaurants of 2009-he has made an art of charming people with his cooking. Andrew Carmellini seems to be the name on everyone’s lips these days.
