Who is Gino D Acampo?
Trained chef and TV host Gino D Acampo was born in Naples, Italy, but moved to London to work in The Orchard Restaurant in 1995.
It didn t take long for Gino to catch the attention of telly chiefs, who roped him in as a guest presenter on Great Food Live and UKTV Food.
The British public quickly grew to love the cheeky chef, who now allegedly lives in Elstree, Hertfordshire.

First, nothing of note had opened for months in the city and diners here were stir crazy for something new. Because of that, Orchard has become one of the most talked about eateries in the province.
The second thing that captured attention is the fact that the restaurant’s interior is unlike any other in the city. Twenty- foot-tall ceilings lay the way for a dramatic smattering of ornate chandeliers throughout the space interspaced with hanging tropical plants. Combine that with chartreuse crushed-velvet banquets, a psychedelic tiled bar and a (charmingly unfinished?) accent wall of wooden beams, plants and wine bottles and you’ve got a dining room that was born to be Instagram and TikTok famous.
