Chef Massimiliano Sena is committed to offering French cuisine inspired by the finest local produce. Voted Best Italian Chef of the Year 2022, Chef Massimiliano Sena offers generous, elegant and precise cuisine. This passionate chef particularly enjoys combining perfectly balanced traditional flavours with creative combinations of local and seasonal produce. He believes that taste should always be in harmony with the aesthetics of the dishes.
