Bianco will oversee the entirety of the hotel ’ s culinary offering , including La Terrazza , Il Giardino Ristorante , La Libreria , the events spaces and in-room dining .
Born in Torre del Greco ( Campania ), Bianco has always been passionate for art , and today he defines cooking as “ the only art form that can make all the senses interact at the same time .” His cooking philosophy is rooted in the interplay of contrast , the reverence for local terroir , and a deep appreciation for culture , memories , and flavours that are inherent to a specific place .

Their paths first crossed at the renowned Relais L ’ Albereta in Franciacorta , followed by five years spent at Osteria dell ’ Orso in Rome , where Bianco worked as Marchesi ’ s sous-chef . Following his tenure in Rome , Bianco returned to Naples where he oversaw the culinary direction of the Romeo Hotel , notably achieving and maintaining a Michelin star for the restaurant “ Il Comandante ” since 2012 .
At Hotel Eden , Bianco will develop a new menu for
La Terrazza , the hotel ’ s fine dining restaurant , and Italian restaurant Il Giardino Ristorante ; both located on the top floor of the hotel , overlooking Rome . Menus will feature classic local recipes with a modern Mediterranean influence .
“ I am truly honoured to join the team at Hotel Eden and being part of a hotel with such a rich history . I look forward to bringing my expertise and knowledge in modern Italian cuisine to the hotel ’ s culinary offering , and I extend my gratitude to general manager , Mirko Cattini for entrusting me with this incredible opportunity ,” comments Salvatore Bianco .
