Luigi Lepore

Luigi Lepore entered professional kitchens in 2008 after graduating in Tourism Sciences at IULM and completing a master’s degree in Gastronomic Sciences in Colorno. He trained at restaurants including Trussardi alla Scala, Caino, Can Fabes, La Bastide de Capelongue and Il Comandante, alongside leading Italian and international chefs. In 2019 he returned to Lamezia Terme and opened his namesake restaurant in a 19th-century palace in Nicastro, with only 21 seats. The MICHELIN star arrived with the 2022 Guide and was retained in the Lamezia location. The project now continues at Casa Klopè in Francavilla Angitola, where Calabrian identity, sustainability and international influences meet in a new setting.
