Massimo Mantarro

Executive Chef
Born at the foot of Mount Etna, Executive Chef Massimo Mantarro discovered his cooking passion in his family’s garden and through his mother’s traditional Sicilian recipes. His culinary journey began in Torino’s fine dining restaurants and continued through some of southern Italy’s most prestigious gastronomic kitchens. He then returned to his homeland to work at Principe Cerami, expressing his personal vision of Sicilian haute cuisine. As Executive Chef, he reinvents traditional Sicilian recipes with modern creativity. Each dish is thoughtfully composed with surprising textures, seasonal elements and reimagined Mediterranean flavours that awaken the senses.

Vincenzo Abagnale

Pastry Chef
Born in Naples, Pastry Chef Vincenzo Abagnale discovered his passion for pastry at a young age. Over the years, he honed his technical skills in one of Switzerland’s most prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants, then spent four years in France as part of a three Michelin star brigade. Upon arriving in Sicily in 2021, Chef Abagnale felt an immediate connection to the island’s land, traditions and people—values deeply rooted in the heritage of southern Italy. In his kitchen, he nurtures growth and innovation within the brigade, bringing the same passion he pours into his desserts. Each creation captures the Sicilian essence in unexpected and modern ways, surprising the palate through refined technique, balanced textures and layered flavours.
