Cibo e Beve is the creation of chefs Gianni Betti and Linda Harrell. Working together at a Tuscan restaurant in Baltimore

in 1993, they discovered they shared the same dream, which was to create an Italian kitchen specializing in authentic

Italian cuisine featuring unique family recipes and traditional ingredients from Italy. Twenty-five years later,

Cibo e Beve came to life. Along with their one-of-a-kind recipes and select old favorites, the

restaurant features craft cocktails and an award-winning wine list. 

​

Gianni Betti was born and raised in Regello, Italy, in the heart of Tuscany. After graduating from the Instituto

Alberghiero Aurelio Saffi in Florence, he and his brothers opened their first restaurant Fattoria degli Usignoli in

the countryside of Florence. After two successful years, Gianni came to the U.S. to work as a chef for Germano's

Trattoria Petrucci in Baltimore, Maryland, where he met Linda, and Cibo e Beve became an idea. But Gianni took

some detours. He returned to Italy to open Antica Posta Restaurant and Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the

Chianti region, a food connoisseur's destination in the Tuscan restaurant guidebooks. Then in 2008 he came

back to the U.S. to work as an executive chef with Posta Tuscan in Raleigh, North Carolina. He eventually

joined his brothers in Atlanta as an executive chef and general manager for Antica Posta in Buckhead.

In 2018 Gianni and Linda opened the doors to Cibo e Beve. 

​

As an award winning chef, Gianni Betti has appeared on numerous television shows and has been featured

in multiple newspaper and magazine articles. His love of food and people make him a

welcoming presence at Cibo Atlanta. 

​

Chef Linda Harrell brings more than 30 years of excitement to Cibo e Beve creating celebratory Italian cuisine.

Linda received her culinary foundation and formal European training working with acclaimed Chef Daniel Yves Abid,

a protégé of Alain Ducasse, at Kingsmill Resorts in Williamsburg, Virginia. Chef Harrell has cooked at the

prestigious James Beard House in New York City andwas featured on the National ABC-TV show "Eat & Greet."

She was a contestant on Food Network shows "Kitchen Inferno"and "Beat Bobby Flay." She has been featured

in publications such as the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore magazine, Flavors and

Atlanta magazine. She is a member of Les Dames D'Escoffier International and activelyparticipates in
