About

Meet Chiara

Chiara Bucciantonio is a private chef based in Interlaken, bringing refined, seasonal cooking to tables across the Bernese Oberland. Every menu is composed around you: your guests, your space and what's in season — then cooked and served right at your table.

Her training began the traditional Italian way: five years at the Istituto Alberghiero in Termoli, then a masterclass at ALMA in Colorno — the cooking school founded by Gualtiero Marchesi — before two years working across Italy, including a stretch in South Tyrol.

The kitchen that shaped her most was Reale, Niko Romito's three-Michelin-star restaurant in Castel di Sangro, followed by the Accademia Niko Romito and an internship at Spazio Milano — training in vegetable-forward cooking, fermentation and extraction techniques she still uses today.

By the time she moved to Switzerland, Chiara had spent nine years across five kitchens — and set out to bring that training home to your table: Italian at its core, simple, and unmistakably hers.
