Drink KONG

I was born in 1978, so it means I’m 44 now! 

I’ve been bartending for 25 years, It started as a game, liked the night, parties, people. But after a while it all got serious and started thinking it as a career. In the end I’ve done some competitions, won a few, travelled all around the world, consulted and opened for others a lot of bars, opened the first Gin bar of Italy called ‘’the Gin Corner’’. 

Been brand ambassador and drink consultant for some major brands. 

I’m still drink consultant for a few famous brands, I’m co-owner and co-founder of NIO ready to drink Cocktails. 

Now I’m owner and co-founder of Drink Kong, my bar, ranked n.16 in the 50 best bars and n.10 in the top 500 bars in just three years. 

And yes I’m a singer in a band!

I was born in 1979 and started bartending in 2004. I “stumbled” on this job while following my musical career as a bassist and guitarist, and after graduating in journalism, film, sociology and mass media. Since then I have been lucky enough to work in many excellent bars, such as Micca Club and Caffè Propaganda, and with great barmen. 

In 2016, I was the Italian representative at the Bacardi Legacy World Final in San Francisco.

Since 2018 I am the barmanager for Drink Kong, a bar that  has achieved numerous awards, including 16th place in the 50 Best Bars list of the best bars in the world, and number 10 in top 500 bars.
