LIBRARY Welcomes Daniel Petitta As Head Chef

LIBRARY London is pleased to welcome ‘Rising Star’ Daniel Petitta as Head Chef at Saint Luke’s Kitchen.

"We aim for our menu’s to be a combination of refined, high-end cooking and delicious flavours but also importantly for it to be healthy and balanced – Daniel’s technique and flair embodies this all." says LIBRARY.

A native of Rome, 28 year old Daniel Petitta moved to London in 2014, with the dream of bringing a slice of Roma to capital’s finest restaurants.

Working up the ranks, Petitta has managed to amass a wealth of experience

at some of the best Michelin starred restaurants and hotels, such as Galvin At The Windows and Boscolo Hotel. To add to his CV, Petitta got to work alongside international talents across all levels and headed up the Kitchens at La Pallacorda and LDV Miami.

All of these remarkable opportunities allowed him to constantly grow and challenge himself in his cooking - not only to deliver exquisite dishes but also to inspire and influence foodies with his love for Italian food.

Drawing on his heritage, Petitta’s style can be described as modern Italian with a worldly twist; with a preference to work with pastries.

When he is not in the kitchen, doing what he loves; Petitta can be found travelling the world in search of remote destinations, discovering new ways to create the best dishes that Italian cuisine has to offer.

Petitta launches LIBRARY’s new spring menu next month April 2017. A contemporary British cuisine with Italian, French and Asian inspirations paired with a phenomenal wine list.  Petitta explains his inspirations were taken from, “...research on superfood ingredients; combining unique flavours, contrasting textures, colours and working closely with local producers to source the best seasonal produce. All of which are prepared using old fashioned Italian slow-cooking methods.”
