Julian

Chef Julian D’Ippolito worked abroad in Europe for four years where he was Michelin trained in Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Upon his return to Toronto he became the Head Chef at Campagnolo until 2017 when he opened Dundas West favourite La Palma, becoming a partner in 2019. He currently oversees La Palma, and now Bar Prima as Executive Chef.

Craig

Chef Craig first came on to the culinary scene in 2010 with the opening of his first restaurant Campagnolo, and since has developed a reputation for great food, a commitment to quality, and his eminently approachable personality.

He opened the popular Dundas West spot La Palma in 2017, followed shortly after by Yorkville’s Constantine located in The Anndore House Hotel in 2018. You may recognize him from the Food Network series Chef In Your Ear, or TLN’s Opening: Italy, among other chef-centric, food-focused series.
