In this episode, we sit down with Bianca Bertoli — known to friends as Piba — an international bartender, performer, and creator of unforgettable experiences in hospitality. Visiting New York fresh from Tales of the Cocktail, Bianca shares her inspiring path from handing out flyers for her uncle’s restaurants in Buenos Aires to becoming a finalist on El Gran Bartender, Latin America’s first mixology reality show.
We explore her early start in hospitality, the challenges of entering a male-dominated industry as a teenager, and her candid reflections on navigating nightlife, independence, and personal growth. Now based at Bar Brujas in Mexico City, Bianca continues to push boundaries in mixology while championing creativity and community.
Join us for a raw and uplifting conversation about resilience, identity, and what it truly means to build a career around passion and hospitality.
