About Culina at the Four Seasons Hotel

Denis Dello Stritto is nothing if not passionate about authentic Italian cuisine and the traditions from which it evolved. As Sous Chef of Culina, Modern Italian at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, he puts that passion and respect for tradition into every dish on the menu. The roots of Dello Stritto’s culinary ardour were planted during his childhood in a small farming village north of Naples, Italy. The village, Caiazzo, has historically been famed for the quality of its olives and more, and nearly everyone is engaged in food production. “The smell, the taste and the honest culture were part of my upbringing” he says. “Simplicity and respect for the ingredients is what I need to give guests the essence of my land.”
