Having grown up in the wine country of Tuscany where his culinary skills were shaped, Chef Davide Cerretini has had a lifetime of experiencing and loving Italian food. No school, teacher or vacation in Italy can give someone what an entire life of experiencing those flavors can achieve.
​For the past 27 years he has been sharing his knowledge by teaching to a growing audience around the Bay Area. His restaurants have always offered uncompromisingly authentic Tuscan food, combined with a unique business model. Always going against the trend of the restaurant industry in the United States, his Italian attitude has been as authentic as his food. His infamous waging of war with them gave Yelp a bitter taste of what it is to go against an Italian chef who won't back down.
As of today, with thousands of followers on social media, he has forged his career exposing a corrupt billion dollar corporation, and while he often appears on TV shows, radio shows and weekly articles, his passion for Tusan food never fades away. He offers cooking classes, special private dinners, and restaurant coaching with his unique and uncompromising vision and flair.
Make no mistake, Chef Davide Cerretini is the One Star Chef, a badass Italian who has NOT been Americanized. He sticks with authenticity and the traditional Italian way to do things, serving up both delicious food and a lesson to Yelp at the same time.
It’s not just about cooking, it’s about combining entertainment, humor and sarcasm with some of the best food available in the world today.
