Head Chef Giulio Marchese
At Italian Street Kitchen, culinary passion meets family tradition in the hands of Head Chef Giulio Marchese, whose journey from a small Italian village to leading our kitchens is a story of dedication, heart, and flavour. From a young age, Giulio was surrounded by the aroma of fresh bread, handmade pasta, and woodfired pizzas in his Nonna’s kitchen. Those early moments, helping his family prepare meals and spending his summers at his aunt and uncle’s osteria, planted the seeds of a lifelong love for cooking.

When he is not in the kitchen, Giulio enjoys spending time with his family, discovering new restaurants, and cooking at home.
