Giovanni Renna
Owner
Giovanni was born in Florence to a Sicilian family who emigrated to Tuscany for work.
Having originally started a career in Accounting, Giovanni’s studies fell short when he discovered the world of catering. His passion for food and wine soon superseded his passion for numbers and he chose to study as a sommelier at the AIS Sommelier school in Florence.
The following years saw Giovanni work in and around Florence in a variety of positions. He worked as head waiter, Bar Manager, and Assistant sommelier in various restaurants discovering his own passion for hospitality.
In 2012, driven by a desire to travel and to widen his experiences abroad, Giovanni came to London. Here he worked in various positions including head waiter and assistant manager and the prestigious restaurant Pescatori, and was eventually promoted to restaurant manager.
Having always maintained a strong passion for Italian food and wine, Giovanni finally decided to start a new adventure with his wife Daria, and his little daughter Sophie. Together they started a dream for quality Italian cuisine and Rosmarino’s was born.
