Cracco attended the Pellegrino Artusi institute of hospitality management in the region of Veneto, Italy. After graduating, he worked at the restaurant Da Remo in Vicenza. A turning point in Cracco's career came in 1986 when he began to collaborate with fellow chef Gualtiero Marchesi in Milan.

After that, Cracco returned to Italy, where he was chef at the Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence. The restaurant was awarded two Michelin Stars. Soon Cracco was invited by Gualtiero Marchesi to collaborate once again, this time on the opening of his new restaurant L'Albereta in the region of Lombardy, where Cracco worked as chef for three years. He then opened a restaurant in the Piedmont region called Le Clivie, which earned a Michelin Star.
