In March of 2005 Chef Fracchioni joined us from Niagara's Inn on the Twenty, where he was Executive Chef since 1999. His award-winning skills are the result of years of study under the chefs of some of the most distinguished restaurants in the GTA, including Scaramouche, Canoe, Auberge de Pommier and Jump. Also, while visiting extended family in northern Italy, Chef Fracchioni worked at a variety of smaller properties, where he created healthy and delicious meals using traditional recipes and fresh, local products. Since his arrival at The Millcroft he has been championing a movement to encourage area chefs and restaurants to use the vast array of organic and natural foods grown in the surrounding Hills of Headwaters region.

Chef Fracchioni is also a regular participant at culinary industry and charity events. Recent appearances include Taste of Niagara, Cuvée, Second Harvest's Taste of Toronto, Stratford Chef School, CANFAR's Bloor Street Entertains, Savour Niagara, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, the Niagara Food & Wine Classic and Niagara College's Showcase of Chefs.
