ABOUT FABIO Chef Fabio Viviani has possessed a passion for food since his childhood growing up in Florence, Italy. At age 11, Viviani worked nights at a local bakery (since he was too young to officially join the staff) and, over his teenage years, held several positions in the restaurant industry, even serving under the mentorship of Simone Mugnaini, an iconic figure in the Italian restaurant scene. Between his training in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine at IPSSAR Saffi and working with culinary luminaries such as Simone Mugnaini, Alessandro Panzani and Saverio Carmagini, Viviani owned and operated five restaurants in Florence, a Farm House and two nightclubs by the time he was 27. Although a well-respected business man in Italy, he was ready for a change and moved to Southern California. There he opened Café Firenze in Moorpark and, soon after, popular Los Angeles Italian eatery Firenze Osteria in North Hollywood. Teaming up with the Chicago’s most innovative restaurant consulting group, Dine|Amic, Viviani opened a third restaurant called Siena Tavern in Chicago in February, 2013. Siena Tavern has received accolades from Michigan Avenue, Chicago Tribune, Thrillist, and others – and Viviani is currently working on the highly anticipated opening of Siena Tavern, Miami, FL.
Fabio Viviani is perhaps best known for his appearance on season 5 of Bravo’s hit reality series Top Chef in 2008, earning the “Fan Favorite” title. Viviani returned to Bravo in 2010 to compete in their Top Chef All Stars edition and a spinoff culinary reality show, Life After Top Chef. His on screen appearances have propelled him to become one of the fastest growing household names in the country. A gregarious host and entertaining guest, Viviani has appeared in a number of television cooking segments and is a recurring guest on television shows such as Good Morning America, The Talk, The Chew, Ellen, Good Day LA, Access Hollywood, and he hosts a regular spot on QVC Channel with various kitchen appliances and products. Recently, Viviani has also been a reoccurring guest host on the new Hallmark Channel series Home and Family. He was also the host of the Telly and Webby award-winning web series Chow Ciao! on Yahoo! one of the top 10 lifestyle and food shows on the internet.

“When I left Italy, I dreamed of not only sharing delicious recipes from my home with a new audience, but eventually developing a brand that best represents my unique culinary style. Over the years, I have been able to develop the essence of my brand into a rustic, gourmet approach to cooking. Hard work and appreciation for minimal, delicate ingredients are two traits that my family has instilled in me and also served as the design and functionality inspiration for The Heritage Collection. With a focus on high quality materials and craftsmanship for my product line, I now hope to inspire and assist at-home chefs to create amazing meals, presented in style. Now, let’s cook up something fabulous.�
