Chef Claudio Cristofoli
Born and raised in Venice, Italy, Executive Chef Claudio Cristofoli discovered his love for the kitchen at an early age. Cooking alongside his mother and grandmother, he grew up learning the art of hand-rolling fresh pasta, sourcing the freshest of ingredients, and mastering the traditions of Venetian cooking. Those early experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for the flavors, techniques, and traditions of his homeland.
After honing his craft at I.P.A.S. Culinary Institute of Treviso, Chef Claudio brought his classical training and lifelong passion for Italian cuisine to New York City. He went on to earn national recognition as a champion on Food Network’s Chopped, showcasing his ability to transform unexpected ingredients into standout dishes under pressure.
At Da Andrea, Chef Claudio brings that same creativity and devotion to our kitchen, celebrating the Italian traditions that have shaped his culinary journey.
