Andrea Ferrandi has been appointed as Executive Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Seattle
Four Seasons Hotel Seattle welcomes Chef Andrea Ferrandi as Executive Chef. A Four Seasons veteran with more than 15 years of culinary experience at luxury hotels and resorts worldwide, Andrea will lead all culinary operations at the downtown hotel, including Goldfinch Tavern in partnership with Ethan Stowell; INFINITY pool + bar in the summer months; catering and events; and in-room dining.
Chef Andrea's career with Four Seasons began in 2008 at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, where he rose from Demi Chef de Partie to Executive Chef. His Four Seasons journey has taken him across the globe, from Italy to the Caribbean and the Pacific, including culinary leadership roles at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla, Four Seasons Resort Lanai, and most recently Four Seasons Resort Nevis.
As he settles into his new role, guests will see his influences on Goldfinch Tavern's winter menu, which he collaborated with Chef Ethan Stowell and Goldfinch Tavern's Executive Sous Chef, Jeffrey Hunter. Looking ahead, Andrea and the culinary team will turn their attention to the much-anticipated holiday dinners, an important tradition at the Hotel and restaurant.
A native of Bergamo, Italy, Andrea grew up surrounded by farmland and family traditions that inspired his passion for food. Chef Andrea's favourite dish, Ossobuco alla Milanese with Risotto, reflects his heritage and commitment to bold yet refined flavours. He describes his culinary style as approachable, nature-inspired, and family-oriented.
Andrea and his wife Miriam, along with their three children, have embraced their new life in Seattle. When he's not in the kitchen, Andrea enjoys fishing with his son, gardening, raising chickens, and cooking at home.
