At Casa Sam, our in-house chef is Daniele Bella, life long head chef and son of the founder of the famed "Da Adolfo Positano" restaurant. 

​

From the age of 8, he worked at his family's restaurant and was immediately drawn to the kitchen, where he and his father crafted the menu that still stands today. 

​

He took over the reins from his father many years ago and also opened Da Adolfo in Sydney that he operated for roughly a decade, bringing his father and his food outside of Italy and adding a more refined touch. 

​

His philosophy with food is simple; Fresh, local and uncomplicated. "Food that fills the heart, mind and body".

​

Although Daniele has stepped away from Da Adolfo for a few years, we are lucky to have him still gracing the kitchen for our guests at Casa Sam with private dinners and cooking classes.
