Renato Tonelli
Sustainable Bartender & World Class US Bartender 2023
My name is Renato Tonelli but some people know me as the ‘Sustainable Bartender.’
Having traveled and worked around the world, I am now on a mission to train and teach bartenders more sustainable techniques and practices to improve the quality of drinks whilst reducing food waste in our industry.
In the summer of 2023, I won the United States World Class Competition and flew to Sao Paolo in Brazil to represent the U.S. in the Global Finals, making it to the Final Top 12 in the world.
I am currently working at Dante NYC as the Beverage Training Director for all locations focusing on menu creation and staff training. Although I am in a management role, you can occasionally find me working behind the bar making cocktails and serving guests.
