Mirabelle 

Giuseppe Sestito began working in the catering industry at the tender age of 18, starting his career with seasonal work at the Hotel Cristallo at Cortina d’Ampezzo and on the Emerald coast Sardinia at the Hotel Cala di Volpe.

In 1983 he moved to Florence, where he gained invaluable experience working for the prestigious Hotel Excelsior di Firenze and the Hotel Villa San Michele in Fiesole.

In 1986, after a brief spell working in Milan at the Principe d Savoia Hotel, the promising young chef was offered the opportunity to move to London to take on the role of Executive Chef at the Italian restaurant of the Hyde Park Hotel in Knightsbridge.

2 years later, Sestito returned to Italy for the re-opening of the Hotel d’Inghilterra’s restaurant in Rome before being called upon once again by the Hyde Park in 1992, this time to take on the position of 1st Executive chef for both of the famous hotel’s restaurants. After a successful 3 years in which he gained international recognition for his expertise, he decided to return to Rome to work first at the Grand Hotel della Minerva and subsequently at the hotel D’Inghilterra for the opening of their new restaurant.

In April 2001, when the Hotel Splendide Royal opened, Sestito was seduced by manager Bruno Borghesi’s plans for the opening of the Mirabelle restaurant, where he has further consolidated his role as one of the key figures in the Italian capital’s restaurant industry.
