Lino Scarallo is more than a chef. He is a brilliant Neapolitan “scugnizzo”, pyrotechnic, with a volcanic creative energy that allows him unknown freedom to most in the world of haute cuisine. Son of the real Naples, he does not grow up among nannies and babysitters, but among the scents and colors of a world that is in danger of disappearing. He was born in the Sanità district. He got to know the flavors at home and on the street. The father is a butcher. But the encounter with the cuisine was born by chance. At 10, his parents used to go to the sea in Maiori, on the Amalfi coast. The road is all curves, climbs and descents. And little Lino hates that torture in the car. He prefers to stay home with is aunt despite the heat. He reassures his parents that he will cook, and begins his experiments. Cooking becomes fun and fun becomes passion. In 2006 the meeting with Edoardo Trotta. An entrepreneur who dreams of bringing great cuisine back to Naples. From this “marriage” was born “Palazzo Petrucci”. It is an extraordinary success. After just over a year, the Michelin star also arrives. The restaurant lives in the historic center of Naples with all its colors and its liveliness. Then in January 2016 the transfer to the Posillipo bay in front of Vesuvius, Capri and the historic Palazzo Donn’Anna, in a dream setting. Here the consecration as an extraordinary interpreter not only of Neapolitan cuisine.
