With Chef Esposito serving as Consultant Chef alongside L’Apogée Courchevel’s Executive Chef Jean-Luc Lefrançois and Pastry Chef Tanya Colella, Gennaro’s promises guests a tantalizing journey through the sun-drenched cuisine of Oetker Collection’s premier Italian Masterpiece Hotel.

The Culinary Masters

Chef Gennaro Esposito, adorned with two Michelin stars for his acclaimed restaurant Torre del Saracino in Naples, brings his expertise as both Executive Chef of La Palma Capri and Consultant Chef for Gennaro’s. Raised in the kitchens of Naples, Chef Esposito’s culinary journey blends traditional Neapolitan flavors with gastronomic finesse honed alongside Michelin-starred mentors.
