Over the years, chef Angelo Auriana’s path has taken him from Italian kitchens to the U.S. culinary scene, where he’s made his mark at restaurants such as the now-shuttered but iconic Valentino Ristorante in Los Angeles. Auriana now co-owns Factory Place Hospitality Group, with celebrated restaurants in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, including The Factory Kitchen and BRERA Ristorante. Despite his success, Auriana remains humble, driven by familial love and an appetite to bring people together through food, whether in his restaurants or at such philanthropic events as the Naples Winter Wine Festival.
