Today, we celebrated International Chefs Day and it’s about time that we pause and reflect on what this day and the craft that it represents truly means to us at Raffinato.

This year, Worldchefs and Nestlé Professional set the theme for International Chefs Day as "Food Explorers", focusing on ingredients, where they come from, seasonality, and sustainability.

Looking at our daily kitchen routines and mentoring programs, this theme couldn’t have been more appropriate; it essentially formalized practices we’ve already been living and breathing on the line every single day.

Guided by our Executive Chef, a Worldchefs member and Nestlé Professional alumnus, Raffinato Ristorante Italiano is immensely proud to support the two organizations that champion the sustainability and standards our team holds dear.

None of this vision comes to life without an extraordinary ecosystem. Our deepest gratitude goes out to:

🇮🇹 Our visionary Founder & Managing Director of Raffinato, Saltz, and El Toro for backing culinary excellence.

🇮🇹 Our dedicated culinary teams and front-of-house service teams who pour their hearts into every shift.

🇮🇹 All our industry colleagues, mentors, and friends who walk this path alongside us.

🇮🇹 Above all, the ultimate applause belongs to you—our guests. Your passion for culinary excellence, your discerning eye for ambience, and your loyal patronage are what truly drive our success. You are, and always will be, the most valuable part of this ecosystem. Thank you for letting us serve you.

🇮🇹 Here’s to passing on the torch, honoring our roots, and continuing to feed our communities with passion and purpose.

One tiramisu. Zero regrets.

From raw ingredients to the first bite. Watch Chef Aziz build a classic tiramisu at warp speed, the Raffinato way.

Because if caffè is a balm for the heart, tiramisù is the hug that follows, the name literally means "pick me up," and now you know why.

Savoyardi dipped in coffee. Layers of Raffinato in house crafted mascarpone. A dusting of cocoa. Fatto con amore (made with love), in under a minute.

👇 Save this for your next dinner party — or tag someone who needs a pick-me-up today.

A table for four. A meal worth remembering.

At Raffinato, some evenings are more than just dinner. Chef Faisal Aziz personally served this wonderful family style dinner, sharing the stories behind each dish as it reached the table.

From Arancini — Sicilian for “little oranges” — to Supplì al telefono, named for the way its melted mozzarella stretches like a telephone cord, and Antipasti, literally meaning “before the feast.”

A little Italian culture, a little conversation, and a lot of food made with care.

Because at Raffinato, we believe the best meals are the ones you remember long after the last plate leaves the table.

Some evenings don't need translation. 🕯️🇮🇹
Low light, a full balcony, and people who came from somewhere else entirely just to feel this one.

Yesterday, Raffinato had the privilege of welcoming Mr. Taku Fukumoto of Taisho Pharmaceutical and Mr. Wasef Al Numan of JBF Digital Corporation for an evening dedicated to building something meaningful between Japan and Bangladesh.

At the center of the conversation was Chef Faisal Aziz, cec cha , Executive Chef & Principal Operating Partner of Raffinato — whose vision for bringing world-class culinary standards, refined hospitality and international partnerships to Dhaka continues to shape Raffinato's journey.

Joined by our Marketing & Operations Team, Chef Faisal led discussions around the upcoming collaboration between Raffinato, Taisho Pharmaceuticals and Tokyo Lipovitan, including premium guest experiences and signature activations designed specifically for the Bangladesh market.

This is more than a partnership announcement.

It is the beginning of a new meeting point between Italian culinary excellence, Japanese innovation and Bangladeshi hospitality.

🇮🇹 Italy + 🇯🇵 Japan + 🇧🇩 Bangladesh
