PEPPE GUIDA
CHEF AND OWNER OF ANTICA OSTERIA NONNA ROSA
Peppe Guida, born in Vico Equense in 1965, is the Chef and Owner of the Michelin-starred restaurant Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa and the Villa Rosa farmhouse. Although he grew up in a family of passionate cooks, he discovered his true vocation only after an experience in Bermuda in 1994. Upon returning to Campania, with the unwavering support of his wife Lella, he reinvented himself as a self-taught Chef, transforming a small pizzeria into Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa, which earned a Michelin star in 2007.
Deeply connected to his homeland, he cultivates his own garden and has become an advocate for dried pasta, showcasing Campania’s rich culinary heritage through collaborations with producers and fellow chefs. Today, in memory of Lella and together with their children, Guida continues a story of passion, dedication, and profound knowledge.
