Hong Kong is set to welcome back the legendary Dario Cecchini, lauded by The New York Times as the “World’s Greatest Butcher” and a charismatic star of Netflix’s “Chef’s Table.” From September 26 to 29, Carna by Dario Cecchini invites you to join us for a series of special occasions that offer not just the chance to experience Carna’s celebrated nose-to-tail philosophy, but also to meet the man up close and personal, whose passion for sustainable dining has captivated the world.
Dario Cecchini is no stranger to Hong Kong, and his return is perfectly timed to celebrate Carna’s recent accolades, including our prestigious mention in the MICHELIN Guide, recognition in the South China Morning Post’s Top 100 Tables, the Foodie Forks Awards and more. These gatherings offer an ideal opportunity for both first-time visitors and loyal guests to celebrate with the man who has redefined butchery and sustainable dining.
Meet the Maestro: An Unmissable Encounter
Dario Cecchini’s vibrant personality and unique background make every visit to Carna a lively and unforgettable expe- rience. With eight generations of roots in the small Tuscan village of Panzano, where he turned his family’s butcher shop into a global destination, Dario is as much a performer as he is a butcher. Known for his theatrical recitations of Dante’s Divine Comedy while slicing steak, and his deep commitment to honouring every part of the animal, Dario brings a unique blend of tradition, artistry, and passion to the table.
Join Dario and the Carna team for four extraordinary days of culinary gatherings where his exuberant personality, dedication to sustainability, and deep reverence for meat take center stage. He enjoys meeting loyal followers and new guests alike, sharing stories, posing for photos, and making everyone feel like they’re part of the Carna family.
