Casa Mia, the Italian fine dining establishment at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, has welcomed Francisco Javier Martin Romo as its newly appointed restaurant manager.

Romo arrives to Casa Mia with an international view of restaurant operation and a food and beverage (F&B) background spanning Italy, Spain and the UK. He joins a highly-skilled and professional team led by executive chef Maurizio Lazzarin.

In a career of over 15 years, Romo has worked as both an F&B Consultant and Wine Specialist. Romo’s extensive knowledge may be attributed to studies at London’s WSET where he earned a Level 3 Award in Wines & Spirits.

The trilingual restaurant manager has a mastery of English, Spanish and Italian, in addition to a proven track record of proficient team building and leadership. “I’d like to thank Casa Mia for such a warm welcome. I’m ready to build upon the strength and skills of the team and our best resources to further cement the Casa Mia name as an industry leader. We have so much talent here as well as an awe-inspiring menu and wine list. I believe there is much we can achieve,” said Romo.

Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre is home to 18 restaurants and bars complete with high design interiors, al fresco drinks and dining on terraces and stunning pool areas.

Casa Mia offers home cooked, authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Dubai. Guests savour traditional Italian meals with a modern influence from diverse regions in the European nation. It’s a journey into Italian cuisine highlighting a rich culture of food that goes well beyond the classics of pizza and pasta. Casa Mia represents a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre’s Méridien Village. - TradeArabia News Service
