After a long experience in the most renowned restaurants in London and Rome, (Hotel Parco Principi and Hotel Splendid in Rome, Hotel Hyde Park, Hotel Grosvenor House in London), he inaugurated with the chef Giuseppe Sestio, the Mirabelle restaurant, which he received in 2005 its first Michelin star.

Famous actors, first ladies and heads of state, are among them and it is known that the former US president George Bush was so impressed by the kitchen of Di Iorio, who asked him to prepare dinner to be consumed on Air Force One during his return trip to America.
