Anaheim, United States, October 17, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Sir Bruno Serato, internationally acclaimed chef, restaurateur and founder of the nonprofit Caterina’s Club, has been named the inaugural recipient of the prestigious Golden Carriage Award by Italy’s historic Castello Bevilacqua in recognition of his extraordinary humanitarian efforts and lifelong commitment to improving the lives of those less fortunate.
Established in honor of Duchess Felicita Bevilacqua, whose legacy was defined by philanthropy, charity, inclusion and support for future generations, the Golden Carriage Award recognizes individuals whose personal and professional achievements have made a meaningful and lasting impact on society.
In presenting the award, Castello Bevilacqua praised Serato, a Huntington Beach resident, for transforming his culinary career into a powerful instrument of philanthropy and for demonstrating how generosity, compassion and personal success can be harnessed to change thousands of lives.
Serato, a native of Italy who immigrated to the United States and went on to become the owner of the renowned Anaheim White House italian Steakhouse, founded Caterina’s Club in 2005 after witnessing children living in poverty who lacked access to nutritious meals. Inspired by his mother, the charity's namesake, he began preparing pasta dinners for a handful of children living in nearby motels.
What began as a modest effort to feed hungry children has grown into one of Southern California’s most impactful charitable organizations. Today, Caterina’s Club serves approximately 25,000 nutritious meals each week to children in need throughout the region. Its mission has expanded well beyond feeding the hungry to include its Welcome Home Program, which helps struggling families secure permanent housing, and its Hospitality Academy, which provides at-risk youth with vocational training and career opportunities in the hospitality industry.
The Golden Carriage Award adds to an impressive list of international honors bestowed upon Serato for his humanitarian work. He has been recognized as a CNN Hero, received knighthoods from the Italian government and the Royal House of Savoy, earned the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and received a papal blessing from Pope Francis. His charitable endeavors have also attracted national and international media attention, including coverage by People, the Los Angeles Times, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and numerous other outlets.
Dated October 13, 2026, the Golden Carriage Award recognizes Serato not simply for his professional accomplishments, but for his ability to transform personal success into a legacy of service, compassion and meaningful social change.
