Murano Restaurant Appoints Marcus Wareing as Head Chef Under Ramsay's Leadership

In 2010, renowned chef Angela Hartnett made a significant move in the culinary world by purchasing Murano from Gordon Ramsay. Hartnett, who had previously honed her skills at prestigious establishments such as Verre and The Connaught, took over Murano as part of a broader transformation within Ramsay's restaurant empire. This acquisition marked a pivotal moment for Hartnett, allowing her to imprint her culinary vision on the restaurant. Around the same time, another notable chef, Marcus Wareing, who had been the head chef at the London-based restaurant Pétrus, experienced a fallout with Ramsay. Wareing retained the restaurant's premises and its Michelin stars, while Ramsay kept the rights to the name. This led to the rebranding of Pétrus as Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley, while Ramsay launched a new venture, Pétrus by Gordon Ramsay, in 2010. Hartnett's acquisition of Murano not only showcased her entrepreneurial spirit but also contributed to the dynamic landscape of London's fine dining scene.
