Giorgio Rapicavoli is an acclaimed chef and owner of the wildly popular Eating House, as well as Luca Osteria in Coral Gables. Born and raised in Miami, Rapicavoli has dedicated his career to championing Miami’s culinary scene and infusing his Argentine and Italian heritage into the city’s rich melting pot of food and culture. He is the first-ever Miami contestant to win Food Network’s Chopped which resulted in the opening of Eating House’s pop-up restaurant. After quickly becoming one of the city’s most sought-after dining experiences, Rapicavoli reopened the same concept in 2012 as a standalone restaurant to widespread critical acclaim. Eating House closed its doors the summer of 2021 and reopened December 2022 at a new address on Giralda Plaza, just steps away from its sister restaurant, Luca Osteria. Luca, named after Rapicavoli’s four year old son, opened in February 2021 and is the second project under his Shake and Bake Hospitality Group.
