Accursio Craparo

Press review

Information & Booking

Born in 1976 in Sciacca... On the Sicilian coast facing south towards the distant Africa.

With a great desire for learning he packs his bags and leaves for the Dolomite mountains then for Frankfurt in Germany, where he starts his working experience in ‘Osteria Enoteca’ (One star in the Guida Rossa).

Returning back to Italy he lands in Milan and spends 15 months working alongside the master Chef Pietro Lemann in his restaurant ‘Joia’. This experience taught Accursio how to use natural ingredients. He learnt a light and delicate way of cooking that reflects and respects the modern alimentary culture.

His passion for delicate cuisine and his curiosity to bring out the very essence of nature and demonstrate it with penetrating but delicate dishes leads Accursio to follow the teachings of Massimiliano Alajmo at the famous three Michelin starred restaurant ‘Le Calandre’, where he endures an intense but detailed confrontation of ideas.

From 2004, Accursio in the Gazza Ladra restaurant has proposed a cuisine that mixes both skill and sensibility, professionalism and experience, a balance and intensity, together with all the things that he has learnt throughout the years and a passion to deal with the contrasts of his land.
