The Power Behind Zucca’s Culinary Excellence

The Power Behind Zucca’s Culinary Excellence

The key to any successful business is finding the perfect combination of talent and knowledge, and Zucca mastered this exceptionally well.

Their dynamic duo team has been essential for the development of the business.

Erasmo Da Silva, a businessman with vast experience in the hospitality business, came to the United States in 2014 seeking to expand the Da Silva Hospitality Group business, which has restaurants in Venezuela and a hotel in Portugal. In 2017, Da Silva opened the doors of Zucca, quickly positioning it as one of the best Italian restaurants in Miami.

From an early age, Chef Manuel García worked in the world of gastronomy in Venezuela. His passion for cooking takes him to Europe, where he manages to expand his knowledge of French and Italian cuisine.

García then decided to explore new opportunities, and that is how he landed in Miami, intending to perfect the art of Italian cuisine.

This talented chef has been at Zucca since its inception, becoming the executive chef with the sole responsibility of creating their award-winning authentic Italian recipes.

Recently, he was mentioned as one of the “chefs to watch” for 2023.

Zucca has earned its place among the mainstays of Miami’s bustling scene, receiving numerous accolades for its cuisine, wine cellar, and impeccable hospitality.

For five consecutive years, they have been awarded the Wine Spectator award, among other accolades, and have plans to develop new concepts in the near future.
