After graduating from culinary school, Florentine-born Patrizio got his hands-on start in the food business cooking for famous Italian restaurants like Cibreo, one of Florence's most renowned restaurants, under the legendary chef and proprietor Fabio Picchi, and the Michelin one-star Cantina Barbagianni.
In 1995, Patrizio hopped on a plane and made New York City his new home. After two and a half years behind the stoves at Manhattan's Savore and a brief stint at Pier 59 Studios at the Chelsea Piers, Patrizio was ready to turn his dream into a reality and open Pepolino Restaurant.
Enzo Pezone was born in Parete, Italy. At age 15 he picked up and moved to Florence, where he started in training in the culinary arts. After a five- year education, he was hired by Fabio Picchi and Benedetta Vitali of Cibreo restaurant in Florence, where he continued learning under their tutelage for 14 years.
