Following his MasterChef Australia journey, Aldo appeared in numerous cooking segments on television and opened pop-up restaurants in Sydney. But he enjoys being back in the MasterChef kitchen and wants his fellow contestant to know that he’s back to win.

He says he wants the atmosphere to be reminiscent of his childhood, a place where you feel at ease from the moment you walk in.
