Meet the Chef

Led by passionate Italian Chef Carmine Faravolo, who was taught to cook by his grandmother in the revered culinary hotspot of Naples, the new menu is a modern, and yet playful, and quirky take on authentic peninsular Italian cuisine, where hearty favourites combine with innovative flavour pairings, that have been inspired by Chef Carmine’s work around the world.

“With the new Social menu, I wanted to show that Italian cuisine is much more than pizza and pasta, and to showcase the culinary history, architecture, and romanticism of the country in my cooking.”
