From 2011 to 2021, he was Executive Chef at the Vun Andrea Aprea restaurant: the first hotel restaurant in the history of Milan to receive a Michelin star, in 2012. The second Star would arrive in 2017.
Aprea’s cuisine sets out to trigger a process of exchange between the different locations of the experience: the memory, the sight, the sense of smell, the palate. Now giving prevalence to one, then pandering to the needs of the other.
The only goal is the delivery of a new form of perceptive truth: between the flavours of yesterday and the intensity of today.
In Milan’s dynamic culinary scene, Andrea Aprea brings to the table his pursuit of balance between tradition and modernity. The Michelin Star, bestowed just months after the opening of his restaurant, confirms his path, intertwining the richness of traditional Neapolitan cooking with the innovation of modern haute cuisine. Andrea Aprea brings to the Italian gastronomic scene the sense of a quest between memory and the present, anteriority and contemporaneity.
Born in Naples, after years of training spent in some of the most important kitchens in Italy and abroad, he has chosen to develop his own personal poetic journey by defining a new sense of the relationship between food and the experience of the senses.In Milan’s dynamic culinary scene, Andrea Aprea brings to the table his pursuit of balance between tradition and modernity.

Overcoming scholastic oppositions to break out of the rhetoric of tradition versus innovation. In pursuit of new experiences to define the flavour of contemporaneity which, interpreting the spirit of its time, combines technique with experience, emotion with culture, aesthetics with the precision of gesture.
Time is a key ingredient in cooking. This is why Aprea’s greatest source of inspiration is memory: the emotions, the knowledge of the territory and the culture that has forged Italian cuisine.
It is memory that creates a suspension of the present to accompany the guest into another temporal dimension.
Andrea Aprea’s cuisine is based on the fusion of memories – whether personal, popular, common or elite – with the knowledge of gastronomic literature and of the masters who came before him.
Signs of our commitment, accolades relate the hard work that precedes joy, the toils necessary to feel satisfaction. They are stages in a journey that is renewed every season.
