Over a career spanning four decades, he served as chef-director at some of London’s most iconic tables: The Ivy, Le Caprice, Scott’s. He then built his own acclaimed restaurant group, with Tramshed and Hix Oyster \u0026amp; Chop House becoming institutions of their own. More recently, he returned to London as Director of Food \u0026amp; Beverage at The Groucho Club — a role that felt, in his own words, like coming home. And now, when he’s not in the city, he’s at his home in Charmouth, Dorset, hosting intimate dinners at his kitchen island — six courses, local producers, proper conversation, no fuss. Private, personal, unrepeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content__block content__block--image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/passionevino.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LUCA_0408.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content__block content__block--paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuca Dusi\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ehas spent over two decades building one of the most interesting Italian wine operations in the UK\u003c\/strong\u003e — sourcing directly from small, independent producers across every corner of Italy who few people in this country had ever heard of, and making them impossible to ignore. \u003cstrong\u003eA born storyteller, his passion for artisanal Italian wine is contagious\u003c\/strong\u003e — and it took him from his Shoreditch and Exmouth Market wine bars to Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, where he does what he always does: walks into a room full of sceptics and walks out leaving believers. One glass at a time. In London, there is no one quite like him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s the spirit they’re both bringing to Shoreditch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content__block content__block--quote\"\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor one night, Mark takes over our private dining room on Leonard Street.
