Roberto Daquino

I bring authentic Italian tradition to refined private dining experiences across Asia

Chef John

My name is Roberto Daquino, and I’m an Italian chef with over 20 years of culinary experience. I was born and raised in Southern Italy, and I learned to cook with my grandmother before building my career between Naples, London, Formentera, and Phuket—each place shaping my style and deepening my culinary identity.

I specialize in authentic Italian cuisine with traditional flavors, fresh ingredients, and heartfelt hospitality. I’ve cooked for high-end private villas and luxury settings, including serving as a private chef for the owner of Harrods in London and most recently for a prominent family in Saudi Arabia. After selling my restaurant in Phuket, I’m now fully dedicated to exclusive private dining, and I’m available for short- or long-term assignments with travel across the region.
