Meet Chef Massimo Pettinau ...

 

  

Born and raised n Cagliari, Italian Chef Massimo enjoyed a typical Italian upbringing.  Naturally, he was introduced to the Italian cuisine from an early age by his mother but especially by his grandmother with whom he used to spend a lot of time helping in the kitchen as a little boy.  Soon Massimo developed a keen interest in Italian cuisine and particularly in the preparation of homemade pasta.

 

After finishing his high school, the decision to become a cook was easily made and in 1997 he obtained the degree “Tecnico dei Servizi della Ristorazione”.  In the same year, Massimo decided to make a next step in his career and moved to London where he was able to build himself a good reputation in some of London’s best hotels at the famous Park Lane. 

 

  

After introducing Italian cuisine in a luxury hotel in Manila, Massimo made his way to Abu Dhabi where he has been resident Italian Chef since the beginning of 2009 at the Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort.  

  

 Chef Massimo quickly established his idea of traditional Italian cuisine coupled with modern elements in the kitchen of the Italian restaurant,  La Mamma.
