Edoardo Merlo

Edoardo was born in Bergamo, a little town in the north of Italy close to the mountains. It's the land of long cooking processes, cheese and polenta. Coming from a big family and a chef mother, food has always been at the center of his daily routine back home. He remembers his mother organizing cooking class at home and the amazing feeling of a full kitchen with a lot of people and food. He decided to become a cook at a quite young age and started to travel around the world having the opportunity to learn a lot from other countries' culinary roots. After one year in London, where he met his mentor who taught him a lot about bread and pasta making, he moved to New York where he had the opportunity to work in different restaurants with different types of cuisine. He then came to Berlin where he focused his passion of cooking on fresh pasta. After working for a few years at Pappa & Ciccia in Mitte, an organic restaurant based on Italian food, He has worked at Caligari in Neukölln, a little bistro with a very small menu and mostly focused on pasta.
