Federico Scattone

~

Federico has built his culinary career on the foundation of his South American roots and his passion for open-fire cooking.

From an early age, Federico embraced the art of cooking with fire, a tradition central to Uruguayan culture, which he perfected during his time at culinary school and while working in some of Uruguay's finest restaurants.

  • After moving to New Zealand in 2016, Federico has continued to thrive in the country’s high-end restaurant scene, blending his deep knowledge of open-fire cooking with his fine dining expertise.

     

    His unique style draws from the bold flavors of South America, while incorporating the precision and artistry of fine dining. Federico’s dishes are a reflection of his heritage and his experiences, combining rustic techniques with refined presentation to create a memorable dining experience.

     

    Through his cooking, Federico brings the essence of South American cuisine to New Zealand, offering customers a taste of his heritage infused with contemporary flair.
