His culinary escapades across his native Italy and across Thailand stretch back more than 30 years, starting with his graduation from the Istituto Giovanni Pastore in Varallo Sesia in 1983. Landing an apprenticeship soon after, he quickly climbed the kitchen ranks to become a head chef at the youthful age of 27.

Chef Marco came to Thailand for the first time in 1994 on a job teaching local cooks the art of making home-made pasta, pizza and dolci. What was meant to be a three-month contract extended over several years, and the chef’s name became synonymous with honest-to-goodness Italian food from interviews on Thai television, in newspapers, and various appearances and projects within Bangkok’s hotel and restaurant industry.

Chef Marco accepted the challenge of helming a new Italian restaurant on Koh Samui in 2003, when the island was still underdeveloped and relatively unknown. Prego was born, becoming an instant success as the first establishment serving genuine Italian produce, thanks to the head chef’s long-standing homeland connections. Today, with his passion for craftsmanship and Italy’s rich gastronomic traditions, Chef Marco continues to be an institution in the local dining scene.
