Chef Giovanni Pisfil, originally from Peru, grew up by the ocean at Pimentel Beach, where his love for seafood and cooking sparked at a young age. By 12, he was already inspired to pursue the culinary arts.

On the corporate side, he also plays a key role in the openings of new restaurants at airports.
