Giorgio Romano

Giorgio Romano is a veteran chef originally from Italy, who has served as the head chef at Avoca for 17 years. He was brought to Ireland in 2007 to establish the Fern House restaurant and has been integral to the company's culinary success, particularly following its acquisition by Aramark in 2015. Recently, he was in the news for being dismissed after being accused of falsifying refrigeration records, a decision that has sparked controversy over the proportionality of the company’s actions given his long-standing service and claims of extraordinary workplace pressure.
