Hello, I'm Raffaello.
I am a fanatic of cocktailmaking and everything related to it, ready to excite my next client even simply by mixing one. I like to be precise and fluid, ready to improve myself more and more every day
I began my experience in the world of hospitality for the first time at the age of 14 in a hotel management school, but my first work experience at the age of 16 in a farmhouse by the sea, already with the intention of becoming not far away a good barman. I continued as a waiter in various restaurants in my city, even during the school period until in 2021, I had my first experience as a barback in one of the most popular bars in the city throughout the summer. There I learned a lot and I was lucky enough to enter the sector alongside 2 very good bartenders with experiences all over the world, who inspired my ideas and goals. From then on, I decided that it would become my dream job and that I would do anything to open my first bar one day. But first I intend to travel around the world to improve myself more and more to meet new people and discover new cultures obviously by being a barman!
