My name is Luca Fanara I was born in 1979, immediately after my studies I started working in the restaurant industry, for a few years I stayed in my hometown and then moved abroad to expand my culinary background, in 2008 I was a Chef on sailboats for wealthy people, the last of my career is called Clovis a speldida 35-meter boat flying the English flag, here I gave my best bringing me to high levels of cuisine as the standard was really high, in 2013 I moved to the UK exactly in Formby where I started working for Italian restaurants bringing my culinary experience to the table, with many sacrifices now I find myself part of a formidable teem at Dolce Vita in Ainsdale.
