Celebrity Chef Michael Bonacini is a visionary entrepreneur and culinary mastermind, who, along with his partner Peter Oliver, co-founded one of Canada's most esteemed fine dining restaurant companies, Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants, boasting an impressive portfolio of 11 unique and innovative restaurants across Ontario.
Under the tutelage of the renowned Chef Anton Mosimann at London's prestigious Dorchester Hotel, Bonacini honed his culinary skills, laying the foundation for a storied career. In 1985, he made the bold decision to immigrate to Canada, where he would go on to forge a lasting partnership with veteran restaurateur Peter Oliver in 1993.
The inaugural collaboration between Bonacini and Oliver was the launch of Jump, a charming New York-style bistro. Fast-forward to the present, and their operations have expanded to encompass a diverse range of dining experiences, including à la carte cuisine, quick service, catering, group dining, and special events. Furthermore, the company has also established a thriving artisan bakery and chocolate shop.
Bonacini attributes the company's remarkable success to the cultivation of a strong corporate culture, where the pursuit of excellence in both food quality and service is paramount. This unwavering commitment to quality has enabled Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants to establish a reputation as a leader in the Canadian culinary scene.
