Chef Riccardo Zebro, originally from Cassina de' Pecchi, a town on the outskirts of Milan, died at the age of 34 in his home in New York, Queens, from causes yet to be determined.
Zebro had moved to the US in 2016 where he had worked as a chef at San Carlo Restaurant Osteria Piemonte, in the neighborhood of Soho, before arriving as executive chef at St. Ambrose West Village, where he was still working. There are many messages of condolence on social media for this young chef who passed away suddenly.
His colleague also remembers him Paul Lovari, with whom Zebro had worked in 2012 in Bermuda, at the resort Rosewood Tucker's Point. “I want to remember you like this Riccardo Zebro – Lovari wrote on social media -, a person of impressive humanity, a great chef, a joker. You will be greatly missed but you will always be with me”.
Words of condolence also from the blogger Simone Taste: “It is with great sorrow that I learn of the loss of a great chef and friend known in the Big Apple. Goodbye Ricky – wrote -. You were among the first chefs in NYC to give me a hand and believe in Simon.”
The mayor of Cassina de' Pecchi, her home town, Elisa Balconi, instead underlined how “many of his friends are mourning him in these hours”Born in Melzo, in the province of Milan, on January 5, 1989, Riccardo Zebro approached the world of catering when he was young as an intern atHotel Sheraton Diana Majestic of Milan.
