Antonio Ghilarducci, the son of owners Mike and Gia Ghilarducci will be permanently joining the team at the Depot Hotel as Executive Chef. As a young boy Antonio often helped his father in the kitchen and often returned over the years to work special functions.
Antonio graduated high
school in 2000 from Justin-Siena in Napa and moved to San Jose to study at San
Jose State University. Before long, Antonio began working in the kitchens
at the university, cooking for faculty and students there. Cooking
quickly became more important than academics and he left both to study at San
Francisco City College in the Culinary Arts Department. This is the
oldest cooking school on the West Coast and the same school that his father
attended thirty years earlier. He graduated among the top five in his
class in 2002 and obtained his Associates Degree in Culinary Arts and
Hospitality Studies.
