It is with #great #sadness that we #announce that #Commendatore #Antonio #Carluccio OBE sadly #passed #away this morning.
Antonio was a much loved and #respected #Italian #cookery #writer, #cook, #restaurateur, #food #expert and loved #TV #personality, he was regarded as the #Godfather of Italian #cooking. Raised in the rural North West of #Italy, Antonio had a rare and privileged breadth of culinary knowledge.
In 1999 Antonio co-founded Carluccio’s and it is his dedication and legacy which has made the restaurant group one of the UK’s most successful and well-known brands.
He was a great man and will be remembered with love and affection. http://bit.ly/2Al5LyP (bij Italian Food Tours)
