Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest appoints new Italian executive chef

Born in the touristic village of Senigallia, near Ancona on the Adriatic Sea, Savini moved to the capital, Rome, at a young age, where he was raised.
Savini joined a hotelier school where he specialized in kitchen management, obtaining a bachelor’s degree after five years. For ten years, Savini and his wife managed their own restaurant in the town of Senigallia, an experience that enhanced his passion for hospitality, service and wine. In 2006, Savini decided to expand his horizons and share his knowledge of Italian cuisine, gaining new exposure. After spending two years in St. Petersburg, Russia, Savini took the opportunity to become executive chef at Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik, Croatia. “After two years with Hilton, I now have the honor of facing new challenges and the opportunity to improve my skills in my role at Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest,” said Savini. “I feel it is the combination of passion, skill and use of authentic products that ensures a meal is enjoyable and of good palate.”
Savini’s first project in his new role will be to reopen Roberto’s Restaurant, which is currently undergoing a complete renovation. Savini is confident he will ensure this revamped eatery will become the first choice for locals, the expat community and hotel guests, offering a new culinary experience.
