The Grand Hyatt Amman announced the departure of chef Daniele Macioce, who joined the hotel two years ago to undertake the launch of The Lombard restaurant.

Macioce contributed to turning the restaurant into one of Amman’s hottest culinary destinations. He has known for his traditional approach, focusing on the authenticity of flavors and tapping into his vast knowledge of the forgotten dishes of Lombardia, which he learned from his mother.

Macioce will hand the reins over to the talented Italian chef Federico Carsili, who has 22 years’ experience in kitchen management and culinary arts.

Carsili has worked at top-notch restaurants and five-star hotels in China, Doha, Romania and Italy.
