Italian food is all about ingredients and it's not fussy and it's not fancy.

One thing I always say is being a great chef today is not enough - you have to be a great businessman.

A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.

I think the time of the formal dinners is over.
