Chef Nico is a bold force in the culinary world - a nomadic, experimental private chef whose dishes reflect authenticity, movement, and fearless creativity. Born in Argentina and raised in Ireland, Nico’s journey began with a purpose at the age of 12 and turned into a passion by 15, as he worked in kitchens to support his family and shape his path through food.
