Massimo Mantarro

“Award winning Executive Chef and Sicilian native, Massimo Mantarro was born in Piedimonti Etneo and raised in Caltabiano. His cooking is the quintessence of Sicily, but reinvented. His plates exalt local ingredients and traditions and are simple, elegant and decidedly local, uniting the sea, the land and the abundance of the nearby volcano Mount Etna.
“There is no innovation without tradition,” says Massimo Mantarro. “Tradition fuels my thinking in the kitchen, and I innovate through cooking technique”.
