Michelin Star-Rated Guest Chef to serve Culinary Delights at Laguna Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua, Bali

The Laguna Resort & Spa in Nusa Dua, Bali, has invited a Michelin star-rated guest chef to serve culinary delights to guests over a three day extravaganza at the end of March.

Marcello Fabbri (born 1970 in Rimini) gained his first experience at the age of 9 working in the kitchen of his Aunt Maria’s hotel in Rimini. The Italian quickly acquired a taste for the culinary arts and at the tender age of 13 he resolved to make a career of his passion for cooking and began training at Rimini’s state catering school. After his day classes Marcello would work at one of Rimini’s finest restaurants, the “Caffè delle Rose” under chef Gino Angelini, today accepted as one of the best Italian chefs in Los Angeles.

There followed periods in Milan under Gualtiero Marchesi, in Sardinia and in Munich under Mario Gamba, who was in the process of opening two first-class Italian restaurants. From the Bavarian capital Marcello moved in October 1993 to Weimar’s historic Hotel Elephant. In his capacity as chef at the “Anna Amalia” Restaurant he soon made a name for himself in gourmet cuisine circles, the “Anna Amalia” establishing itself as the top gourmet restaurant in the eastern part of the enlarged German Federation. “Der Feinschmecker” magazine included the Amalia on its list of the ten best foreign restaurants in Germany, the “Gault Millau” gourmet guide gave Fabbri’s cuisine an outstanding 17 points and the Michelin Guide has four times in succession awarded Marcello Fabbri and his team one of its coveted Michelin stars.

The German Chancellor Schröder, Russian Federation President Putin and the Belgian royal couple have all dined on Fabbri’s creations as have ex President of Italy Scalfaro and the actress and singer Jennifer Lopez.

When he is not pursuing his love of cooking Marcello Fabbri spends his time collecting Bonsai trees and diving.
