Episode #35 Meet Danny Russo, chef and owner of Russolini Group, one of Australia’s most respected and skilled boutique food service consultancy groups.

Danny’s passion for food came from a young age watching and cooking with his mum.

He started his apprenticeship with the Merivale Group. He worked under amazing chefs who helped him not only learn how to cook but more importantly manage his own a team.

He opened his own restaurant called L'Unico in Balmain in 2000, receiving amazing reviews and changing the way people experienced Italian food. He went on to work in some of the best hatted restaurants around the world.

With people reaching out to him and asking for help and advice he decided it was time to combine his passion for hospitality and travel and open his consultancy business called the Russolino Group, a consultancy group that provides tailored food service projects that make a difference in a client’s operations, branding and bottom line.

Dannys work has had him featured in the New York Times, and has received rave reviews in Vogue Entertaining, The Sydney Morning Herald, Time Out, The Daily Telegraph, The (Sydney) Magazine and Australian Gourmet Traveller

Danny is driven to continue to help, grow and mentor the next generation of chefs and restauranteurs and you can hear the passion and love he has for the industry.
