Chef Oscar Pasinato was born in Cittadella, a small village an hour away from Venice. He received his professional culinary training at the Instituto Professionale Alberghiero di Castelfranco Veneto, Italy. He then spent several years travelling and working in London, Paris, New York, Puerto Rico, Tokyo, Bangkok, then finally, Singapore.

Since May 2000, Chef Oscar and his Singaporean wife, Tracy, own and run Buko Nero, an Italian-Asian restaurant where the freshest local ingredients are used combined with Italian flair.

Chef Oscar's approach to food can be described as "keeping it as simple as possible", reflecting the influences of the two most important women in his life: his mama and his wife.
