Park Hyatt Jakarta has welcomed Luca Cappellato as the Italian Sous Chef at its popular restaurant, Dining Room.
In his new role, Luca will provide strategic support to Chef de Cuisine Indrawan Ardi and Executive Chef Claudio Rossi.
With more than a decade of experience under his belt, Luca is passionate about sharing Italian cuisine through a creative approach based on simplicity and fresh ingredients. His presence in the Dining Room kitchen ensures that the quality, taste and authenticity of regional Italian cuisine are maintained from day to day.
“I have always had a real passion for Italian cuisine,” says Luca. “That’s partly due to my heritage, but also because it tends to emphasize fresh, simple ingredients while being incredibly diverse.”
Luca began working in Asia in 2014, and then joined Macau’s Michelin-starred restaurant owned by renowned Italian chef Umberto Bombana, 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana, in September 2017, There, he broadened his knowledge to meet the challenges of providing European fine dining in an Asian setting.
“Now, I am thrilled to be able to continue this journey at Park Hyatt Jakarta,” he says.
While a master of many cuisines, Luca retains his fondness for regional Italian specialties. “Working abroad for the past nine years made me realize the importance of keeping the authenticity of one's cuisine, so other parts of the world can experience it in the same way,” he explains.
Having worked in restaurants throughout Italy before embarking on his Asian career, Chef Luca now thrives on delivering exceptional dishes in a multicultural setting. His culinary creations can be enjoyed daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Dining Room on Level 22 at Park Hyatt Jakarta.
