He started his career in Casanova Restaurant in The Westin Palace, a prestigious 5-star hotel in Milan, then advanced his ranks via roles at various noted restaurants in Italy, U.K. and U.S. He moved to Hong Kong in 2006, where he continued to impress diners with his expertise and passion in this multicultural food paradise.

Highlighted Dishes: Hokkaido Sea Scallop Carpaccio, Grilled Octopus, Arborio Risotto with Lobster, Shaved Black Truffle Tagliolini, Roasted Cod Fish and Hot & Cold Tiramisu.
Hokkaido Sea Scallop Carpaccio
First comes a colourful appetiser made with seasonal Hokkaido sea scallops that were handpicked by Chef. The carpaccio is refreshingly sweet with a silky and delicate texture. Together with asparagus salad and black truffle dressing, it makes the perfect dish to start the meal.
Grilled Octopus
Another great choice of starter would be the Grilled Octopus, which is served with bell pepper, crunchy fennel, orange and bottarga. The Spanish octopus is first slow-cooked and then slightly grilled on two sides, making it chewy yet tender.
Arborio Risotto with Lobster
Risotto is a traditional cuisine in northern Italy, which serves as an essential element of the Milanese food culture. Chef chooses the classic Arborio risotto rice and cooks it with shelled lobster and broth. Fully absorbing the lobster essence, the cohesively creamy risotto is then topped with luxurious caviar and burrata cheese. Diners will definitely be tantalised by its delicious aroma and rich texture.
Shaved Black Truffle Tagliolini
The chewy and elastic tagliolini is cooked with Nduja, a cured spicy spreadable salume originated from Calabria. The tingling spiciness will take your taste buds on a tour to the enthusiastic Italian peninsula. The dish is decorated with shaved black truffle from France, creating a glamourous visual presentation.
Roasted Cod Fish
Experience the true taste of Italy with this perfect crispy-skinned Spanish cod fish. Accompanied by artichokes in Romana style and fresh shellfish foam, the flavour of cod fish is taken to a whole new level.
Hot & Cold Tiramisu
Chef puts a modern twist to the traditional Italian dessert, Tiramisu, where a layer of warm espresso foam is added to the top of the cold custard cake. It is creamy, rich and bursting with bold coffee aroma. This unique recipe is inspired by the flavours of Chef’s hometown, making it a sweet and heart-warming homemade dessert.
