JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar is set to host a standout culinary experience at its signature Italian restaurant, Romano’s, with an exclusive chef takeover by Bruno Ferrari.

The three-day showcase brings the internationally recognised chef to Mumbai, offering guests a rare chance to explore regional Italian cuisine through a specially curated dining experience. Known for his Michelin-recognised restaurant concepts across Asia, Chef Ferrari brings over two decades of global experience, along with a strong focus on authentic, lesser-known Italian recipes rooted in tradition.

Originally from Abruzzo, his approach to cooking stays close to heritage while presenting dishes with refined technique. The à la carte dinner menu across the evenings features regional classics that are not commonly found in the city. Guests can expect dishes like Pallotte Cacio e Ova, Orecchiette alle Cime di Rapa, and Brodetto di Pesce Adriatico, along with mains such as Agnello al Forno con Patate and Branzino al Limone e Capperi. Desserts include favourites like Pastiera Napoletana, Torta Caprese, and Cannoli Siciliani.

Adding to the experience, the restaurant will also host a specially curated Easter brunch, inspired by traditional Italian family-style celebrations. The spread will include a mix of cold and hot selections, live stations, freshly prepared pastas and risottos, and a dessert section featuring the iconic Colomba Pasquale.

Sharing his thoughts, Bruno Ferrari said, “Italy has hundreds of regional recipes that the world has never tasted. When I travel, my mission is always the same, to bring those stories to the table, with the same honesty and soul you would find in an Italian home or a family trattoria. Mumbai is a city that truly understands food, and I cannot wait to cook here.”

Prakash Chettiyar, Director of Culinary, added, “At JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, we are always looking to create dining experiences that go beyond the expected. Having Chef Bruno Ferrari at Romano’s is a truly special occasion, he brings with him an extraordinary depth of knowledge of regional Italian cuisine that is rare to find anywhere in the world, let alone in Mumbai. We are excited to welcome him and offer our guests a genuinely authentic taste of Italy.”

With this limited-time showcase, the hotel continues to strengthen its position as a key dining destination in Mumbai, offering experiences that go beyond the usual and bring global culinary perspectives to the city.
