Chef Massimo Santovito

Private Chef In Hong Kong

As a highly business-oriented chef with more than 30 years of experience directing food and beverage services for restaurants, private cooking classes and courses, private chef at home and large catering, I possess a wide range of knowledge and experience in Italian and Western/European cuisine that will allow me to contribute customers an enjoyable experience.

For me, cooking is...

For me cooking is an expression of feeling that it can transfer to diners tables.

I learned to cook at...

I started learned cooking at a early age of 12 years old when I was around my family cooking and preparing for festive periods. Later I have started.

A cooking secret...

My secret is the passion and simplicity with a focus on quality ingredients.
