KISSIMMEE, FL, December 04, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — Gabriele Uberti has been included in Marquis Who’s Who. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Uberti, director of operations for Patina Restaurant Group, possesses more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry. Using this vast expertise, he manages Via Napoli and Tutto Italia Restaurants, two popular and award-winning restaurants at Disney World’s EPCOT Center. Under Mr. Uberti’s leadership, Via Napoli and Tutto Italia have received numerous honors; for example, Via Napoli was recognized as the 2023 Best Restaurant at EPCOT for guests of all ages by The Points Guy, and Tutto Italia was named one of 2021’s 10 Best Amusement Park Restaurants by USA Today.
The commencement of Mr. Uberti’s hospitality career occurred at the young age of 12, when he accepted his first job at a local pizzeria in his native country of Italy. During his high school years, Mr. Uberti’s love for cuisine grew as he undertook an impactful role at a teaching farm, where he educated children about farm life; this formative experience was instrumental in the development of his interpersonal and communication skills. Upon graduating high school, he began to climb the ranks of his industry, guided by the love and support of his father, Alfredo Uberti. Mr. Uberti’s culinary talent was recognized at the age of 22 when he was selected not once, but twice, to compete in prestigious Italian pizza chef championships, held consecutively in Mantua and Montecarlo.
Venturing beyond borders, Mr. Uberti gratefully took part in an international journey, in both England and the dynamic landscape of Hong Kong. In these experiences, he cultivated both personal and professional skills on the global stage.
Upon securing a spot in the one-year Disney Cultural Representative Program in 2005, Mr. Uberti made his maiden voyage to the United States. Following this milestone, in 2010, he emerged as a winner of the “Green Card” lottery, a development that led to his relocation to Florida alongside his wife. It was there that he began his tenure at Disney World, contributing his skills and expertise to oversee a group of restaurants that generate an annual revenue of more than $47 million.
Among his many career accomplishments, Mr. Uberti is particularly proud of attaining his current position as director of operations. He also prides himself on his role in orchestrating the repatriation of more than 200 Italians amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, a feat acknowledged with a special commendation by the Consulate General of Miami.
When he is not busy working in his restaurants, Mr. Uberti enjoys spending time with his wife, Tammy, and their children, Maya and Aurora. His hobbies include fishing and dabbling in real estate; he owns and manages a diverse portfolio of properties. Looking toward the future, Mr. Uberti strives to embrace more significant challenges, foster personal growth, and effectively share his rich experiences, thereby contributing to the ever-evolving dynamics of the corporate landscape.
