An esteemed culinary maestro with a rich heritage in Italian gastronomy, born into a family of chefs, Chef Damiano brings an unparalleled passion for authenticity and a decade of international culinary expertise to the vibrant culinary scene in India.
Hailing from a family deeply rooted in the culinary arts, his culinary journey is a global odyssey, with stints in six countries, including Romania, Portugal, Egypt, Ireland, and Italy, before making his mark in India. His family legacy of culinary excellence is nothing short of remarkable – his father is the Executive Chef of an International Company working in Cairo, his mother, is a Head Chef in an Italian restaurant in Germany, and his brother, is a Sous Chef in Italy. Even his grandfather, now retired, manages a family-owned olive cultivation and refinery in Puglia, the region where Chef Damiano comes from.

His diverse experience spans fine dining restaurants, 5-star hotels, and even cruises. Notably, he played a pivotal role in transforming the restaurant of The Europe Hotel in Ireland, elevating it to international acclaim.

His dedication to preserving the authenticity of Italian cuisine, combined with his international exposure, aligns seamlessly with our commitment to delivering authentic Italian dining experience at our specialty restaurant Tre-Forni,” remarks Chef Neeraj Tyagi, Executive Chef at Park Hyatt Hyderabad.
His culinary finesse extends beyond Italian cuisine, incorporating Romanian and Portuguese gastronomy influences. His remarkable achievements include the transformation of a restaurant in Egypt’s Zamalech region and contributing to the success of Sud Lisboa, one of Lisbon’s finest restaurants, in Portugal.
