Vincenzo Candiano was born in Scicli where his father had a small farm. It was here that he and his two younger brothers developed a passion for food. Chef Candiano is married to Francesca with whom he has three beautiful children Giulia Simone and Manfredi. He enjoys spending his free time with his family and often gets culinary advice from his grandmother and aunt. He likes his cooking to be homely and simple. His favorite ingredients are aromatic beetroot tops tomatoes citrus fruits and spices. He admires French pastry and finds it hard to resist the temptation to taste and buy new cheeses whether Italian or foreign. Throughout his career as a chef he has always worked with humility and passion trying to get the most out of every experience regardless of the location. In a sector where most chefs gain experience by working in Michelin-starred restaurants he has honed his culinary skills through "self-study". He has done this with the understanding that creating new dishes means more responsibility but that it is worth it because it helps him express his "own" cooking style. He follows avant-garde cuisines with great interest but has equal respect for simple cuisines. In 2002 he took over the kitchen of the restaurant Locanda Don Serafino. Together with the owners Giuseppe and Antonio La Rosa he has created a restaurant that is known for the quality of its food and service. In 2007 they received their first Michelin star and the second star was awarded in 2013. Six years ago they moved the location to a unique new location half of which is a natural cave and the other half a large area built in the late 8th century. The cantina is located in the cellar and has a rich collection of Sicilian and foreign labels. The restaurant is located in the historic city center of Ragusa Ibla Barocca overlooking a valley with carob trees and Mediterranean flora.
