THIS IS HOW THE STORY BEGAN...
 |
We are Leonardo and Stefano,we come from Mantua a small city in northen Italy.
‘Stair way to Heaven's Kitchen’ chef is Stefano. He has a passion for food and cooking - as a child his favourite hobby was helping his grandmother Teresa in the Kitchen who passed down her love and expertise for Italian cuisine to him.
He went to the Scuola Alberghiera on Lake Garda to get his Chef’s diploma and it was there and then that he realised what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
Stefano came to London 12 years ago, he started as a chef de partie at Antonio Carluccio’s Neal Street Restaurant in Covent Garden.
In 2004 he decided to move to the Walnut Tree Inn Abergavenny,Wales where he succeeded in being promoted to sous chef.
In 2006 he mooved back to London and won the postion of Head Chef at Osteria Emilia in Hampstead.
I am Leonardo,I've lived in the UK since 2009.I come from Calliera,a very small village in province of Mantua.I have always worked in food retail and restaurants - I am very passionate about food. Here in London I have worked at Giacobazzi's Delicatessen, a speciality Italian delicatessen in Hampstead and I am currently working at Alivini company LTD which is one of the leading Italian food and wine importers in the UK.
Although Stefano and I come from from the same city I first met and worked with him at Osteria Emilia where we became good friends.While we worked together I realised just how amazing Stefano's cooking is and just what a wizard in the kitchen he is.
Our friend Roberto Cenciarelli told us about this "SupperClub" idea...it is a new conception of socializing and at the same time taste new dishes which you wouldn't find in a normal restaurant.
We thought it sounded like a good idea so we started planning our own supper club
Stefano here can express himself with his cooking and let our friends and customers have the chance to experience what Stefano can do to their taste buds.
Our friend Lisa helped us in decorating our dining room...what a fabulous Sunday!!!...Working hard but laughing a lot

Choosing the name hasn't been easy, we had and were given many ideas and suggestions but nothing that really grabbed us until Stefano came up with
‘STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN'S KITCHEN’ -
I agreed immediately,it is the perfect name for our location. You will see why I'm writing it :-)
Soo now we hope to show you exactly what a HEAVENLY EXPERIENCE is when you join us for dinner...
