Marco is an Italian chef who comes from Lucca in the heart of Tuscany. He started working in kitchens as far back as 1990.

After years of experience cooking authentic dishes in various restaurants including his own, in 2012 he decided to move to Australia for a new adventure.
Here too, he has had many experiences in various restaurants in Melbourne and on the Mornington Peninsula. From May 2015 to May 2020 Marco was well known as a Head chef in a famous Restaurant and Celler Door located in Main Ridge Victoria. 

In August 2018 he met Laura, an English woman from Bath and who had been living in Australia a few years before him. In addition to being her biggest fan and supporter, Laura is for Marco a source of inspiration, courage and essential moral support.

For months, they had been dreaming about a future project to open a small gastronomy, suppling quality Italian produce from fresh homemade pasta, to the best salami, truffle products, and without forgetting the best wines.

In the most complicated moment for Australia and the whole world with COVID 19, Laura and Marco threw caution to the wind and bet on their future together at 360 degrees. Partners in life and in business!

Along with offering the quality fresh homemade pasta, deli and wine products. Marco’s aim is to offer the best use of his culinary skills and expertise to educate and guide Non Solo Vino customers of traditional customs in food preparation and importantly food and wine pairing to become more adventurous, creative and confident in serving the best Italian dishes at home.
