Bruno Barbieri

He was born in an Italian family, in Emilia-Romagna.[1] His grandmother inspired him to start making food.

In 1979 he worked as sous-chef on a cruise ship. A year later he returned to Italy to work for restaurants on the sea.

He worked for the restaurant Locanda Solarola, in Castel Guelfo di Bologna, near Bologna. In two years the restaurant earned two Michelin stars. He worked for the restaurant Il Trigabolo, in Argenta, Emilia–Romagna, with chef and later friend Igles Corelli.[2] In the 1990s the restaurant received two Michelin Stars.

In 2002 he opened Arquade, a restaurant in Hotel Villa del Quar-Relais and Châteaux in San Pietro in Cariano, Veneto. In 2006 the restaurant received two Michelin stars and 3 Gambero Rosso "forks". He left the restaurant in July 2010, and moved to Brazil. In 2016 he opened the restaurant Fourghetti, in Bologna.[3]

His books include one dedicated to Gluten-free cuisine, in 2007. In March 2012 he opened the London restaurant Cotidie, but in 2013 he left it to Marco Tozzi.[4][5]

Barbieri is not married.[6] He had a difficult time with his father because he didn't like the idea of him becoming a chef.[7]
