A Chef Shaped by Travel, Rooted in Naples
Born into a family of restaurateurs, Chef Gian Marco Carli grew up immersed in the flavours and traditions of Neapolitan cuisine. His journey took him from Campania’s Michelin-starred kitchens to Central America, where he expanded his perspective before returning home to open Il Principe. With a deep respect for his heritage and an instinct for innovation, he reinterprets the dishes of his childhood with contemporary techniques and bold creativity. His cuisine is a reflection of his travels, his roots, and his unwavering passion for the flavours of Naples.
“You can travel the world, learn from every kitchen, but in the end, it’s the flavours of home that shape you. Naples is in every dish I create.”
