Chef Mirko

Melbourne, VIC

Chef Mirko was born in Bologna (Italy) and made Australia home at the tender age of 24. Growing up with his Grandparents, Mirko was exposed to the home style of traditional local food and the art of making pasta, which later in life became the core style for his success.

Working across Europe, including the famous San Lorenzo restaurant in London’s Knightsbridge, Chef Mirko's career really began when making his hand-rolled pasta for restaurants, a skill that led into cooking classes across Australia, television shows, publishing cookbooks and owning an award-winning restaurant.

Chef Mirko provides genuinely unique dining experiences by making pasta from scratch in your kitchen using traditional cooking methods, sharing food knowledge and stories from his culinary and life journey. Amanda, Chef Mirko's wife, assists in the kitchen and with serving, a real labour of love!

Mirko and Amanda were absolutely fabulous! The food (particularly the appetiser) was scrumptious and their contribution to the evening for all guests was unobtrusive, yet a delightful addition. Highly recommended!
