"Giorgio Locatelli is a celebrity television chef working in the United Kingdom. When he was a child, Giorgio Locatelli's family ran a Michelin-starred restaurant in northern Italy. Giorgio trained in various restaurants in Italy and Switzerland before travelling to London to work with Anton Edelmann at the Savoy Hotel. After a spell in Paris, Giorgio returned to London, becoming head chef at Olivo and then opening his own restaurant, Zafferano, in Knightsbridge.

In 1989, Giorgio created the prop food for the film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, directed by Peter Greenaway.

Giorgio's cooking at Zafferano earned him his first Michelin star. The restaurant was followed by a new venture, Spighetta and Spiga. After a period as a consultant to Cecconi's, Georgio returned to work as head chef at the Michelin-starred Locanda Locatelli.

In 2002 Giorgio came to wider public attention as co-presenter of the Channel 4 series Tony and Giorgio (2003 BBC2? see [1]). He has made numerous television appearances since then and attracted in particular a fervent following among women.

In 2004 Giorgio was consultant chef for the revamped Refettorio restaurant located in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the City of London, which is noted for well sourced authentic Italian cooked meats and cheese."
