Highlights
Resident Chef Michele Berlendis is the heart of RIVA Lofts’ kitchen. A native Tuscan, after attending a technical institute specializing in hospitality in Florence he worked alongside the chef Filippo Saporito at the starred restaurant La Leggenda dei Frati. After refining his skills he moved to Berlin where he worked at the leading Italian restaurant Boccadibacco. Upon returning to Italy, he began his teaching career by personally running the renowned MamaFlorence Cooking School where he discovered a passion for teaching and sharing the secrets of cooking with students. After a long and solid collaboration alongside the starred chef Erez Ohayon, Michele decided to take over the kitchen of Riva Lofts to continue in teaching and expressing his own cuisine.
Michele loves to experiment with simple flavors so that the taste of the wholesome ingredients he uses can really shine through. She reinterprets classic recipes to give them a personal touch.
