Born in Southern Italy in 1972, Antonio Guida started his career in 1998 as chef-commis. Extensive travels through Italy, France and Asia contributed to build his deep knowledge of the culinary art, which he refined working alongside great masters, in Michelin-starred restaurants such as Pierre Gagnaire in Paris, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence and Don Alfonso in Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, on the beautiful Amalfi Coast. For two years, the restaurant La Terrazza of Hotel Eden in Rome came to be his stage and brought him to become Chef de Cuisine.

In 2002, Antonio Guida was appointed Executive Chef at the hotel Il Pellicano, in Porto Ercole, Tuscany where only two years later he received the well-deserved first Michelin star, followed by a second star in 2010. After twelve years of great cuisine and memories, Antonio Guida felt that the time had come for a new challenge: in 2015 has been appointed Executive Chef at Seta, the fine-dining restaurant of Mandarin Oriental, Milan. In 2015 he gained the first Michelin star, followed by a second star in 2016.
