With 9 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I am a driven and motivated individual who strives for excellence and inspires the best in others. As a Restaurant Manager, I bring passion and dedication to every aspect of my establishment, creating an environment that resonates with both my team and customers. I see myself not just as a leader but as a conductor, orchestrating a symphony of flavors, service, and ambiance. I nurture my team's talents, helping them grow into skilled professionals who work in harmonious sync. When I'm in charge, customers receive more than just service—they experience the best of the best, thanks to my initiative and skills that consistently exceed expectations. Currently, I am a Restaurant Manager at The Wolseley Hospitality Group in London. Previously, I held the same role at Caprice Holdings Ltd., managing the French Brasserie Balthazar, and at JKS Restaurants, overseeing the Indian-Sri Lankan fusion restaurant Hoppers. My responsibilities have included everything from daily operations and staff training to managing bar stock and ensuring health and safety compliance. I also served as Assistant Restaurant Manager at Brindisa Kitchens and Jamie Oliver Restaurants, where I honed my skills in running shifts, handling bookings and guest inquiries, and maintaining high service standards. My educational background includes a Secondary Education Diploma in Art Studies from Liceo Artistico G. Misticoni. I am fluent in both English and Italian, with certifications including WSET Level 2.Tech Stack
