Romeo Bucciarelli

I started as a bartender in my city in Italy for the need to have some money in my pocket. Day after day, I began to appreciate this work more and more and so after my studies, I decided to continue it. I worked in some bars in my country and in the meantime I was taking courses (Planet One, Aibes), then by chance I had the opportunity to go to work in Tuscany in a 5-star hotel. I started out as a commis in a bar and then got the promotion to demi chef. After a few years, for various reasons, I returned to my country where I stayed for two years. I was doing a job that did not satisfy me, did not make me happy and did not stimulate me. One day I suddenly decided to give everything up, bought a one-way ticket to London and in November 2017 moved to the British capital. I had a difficult start as I think all the people who have passed through London do, but luckily I found a job right away. I started out as a barback at Novikov Restaurant & Bar in Mayfair. I had many Italian colleagues who helped me a lot with the language, however, I decided to go to school to learn English as quickly as possible. I worked for two years at Novikov where I grew up professionally and as a man, and above all where I got the promotion to bartender. In September 2019,I had the opportunity to enter the Cahoots cocktail bar in Carnaby street which is set in 1946. It’s a fantastic place that I already knew of and where I would have always liked to work. Finally after some time I had this luck and it’s where I still work today.
