Exclusive. Unique conversation with father and sons Giacomazza, who after 45 years have bite Michelin star: “Lost two legs. But three more times a week I am making a patisserie here”

In Antwerp, a very emotional Peppe Giacomazza (47) from La Botte received his first Michelin star on Monday. Ninety kilometers away, in Genk, father Vincenzo (70) was making a patisserie, while brother Gaspare (39) put the champagne cold. It is the crowning life of their life’s work, a simple pizzeria that climbed into a star shop in 45 years. And even though the father has lost two legs, he is behind the pots three days a week. “Stop, you say? I don’t think about it.” A unique conversation with a special family.
