Executive Pastry Chef

Riccardo Menicucci, Executive Pastry Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, brings a unique blend of artistic vision and scientific precision to his craft. Joining the team in October 2024 after three years at Beverly Wilshire, this charismatic Italian draws inspiration from his Florence roots, where art, culture, and food shaped his passion for pastry.
