Born and raised in Sarzana, Italy, Chef Matteo
Mistura grew up in a family of restaurateurs and
hoteliers. Young Matteo was thrusted into the
kitchen at his parent’s hotel-restaurant Laurina
in Sarzana, near Cinque Terre. Always his
favorite spot in the hotel, the kitchen was a place
where his mother, the restaurant Chef, started his
training. Foundations were built and passion
instilled, so much that Matteo has never doubted
that culinary arts was to be his destiny.
Five years of culinary schooling in Lerici, Italy,
complimented the practical cooking background of his
youth. Cooking in Italy for over 15 years,
followed by another 5 years abroad at the finest
restaurants from Jakarta to Philadelphia to his
culminating post as the award-winning Chef at
Ferraro’s Ristorante and Bar at Maui’s Four
Seasons Resort has provided Chef Matteo with an
understanding of the intricacies of a successfully
catered event. The result today is a perfect mix of
natural talent, polish and the full understanding of
what it takes to be a true host. |
