Andrea Borroni
Resident Chef | 2024 Season
Andrea worked in the Michelin-starred kitchens of Piazza Duomo Alba, Contrada Bricconi, and Pasha, where he acted as sous-chef under Antonio Zaccardi for two years, tapping into the pure passion of Southern Italy cuisine. Most of the year, you can find him at Trattoria Da Lucio — a seafood restaurant in Rimini famous for dry-aged fish.
When he first arrived here at éla a week ago, Andrea whipped up a plate of grilled zucchini and the table went silent for minutes — there it was — the sound of great food.
Andrea is thrilled by the idea of a organic garden at his fingertips and discovering the spectrum of wild foragables on Patmos. All summer long, you’ll find him near the embers of our stone grill — expressing his no-waste philosophy of rustic, elegant food.
