The visionary behind the signature Italian concept of Il Ristorante - Niko Romito in Dubai, Beijing, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, Tokyo and Rome, Chef Niko Romito brings extraordinary talent and artistry to the world of Bulgari Hotels & Resorts. A native of central Italy’s Abruzzo region, he has remained true to his roots while reimagining the flavours of Italy with a daring and simplicity that rewrites the rules of classic cuisine. Before his collaboration with Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, his restaurant Reale garnered three Michelin stars for its striking contemporary Italian dishes.
Chef Niko is known for his precision and mastery of Italian gastronomy, and his bold concept—developed exclusively for Bulgari Hotels & Resorts—establishes a new canon of Italian cooking, focusing on the essential ingredients and character that express the culture, elegance and vibrancy of the Made in Italy designation.
The Chef developed the menus and personally trained each of the chefs that helm Il Ristorante - Niko Romito restaurants around the world. He continues to act as a counselor and consultant, overseeing the integrity of the kitchen in every destination.
Born in Campania, Italy, Chef Emilio Di Cristo studied science before discovering his true passion: cuisine. After going to culinary school and gaining early experience in Italy, he traveled to Spain and England, where he worked in hotels, learning the arts of gastronomy in high-end kitchens. When the opportunity arose to work for Chef Niko Romito at Bulgari Resort Dubai, he did not hesitate. After some years working closely with Chef Giacomo Amicucci in Dubai, he has returned to Italy to embark on a new chapter with the latest edition of Il Ristorante - Niko Romito.
