Radisson SAS Hotel Dubai Media City has appointed Simon Apollonio as the Outlet Chef at its award-winning restaurant, Certo.

Chef Apollonio has 10 years of culinary experience in fine-dining outlets in the UK, Australia, the USA, as well as in his native Italy, where he graduated from Caterina de Medici Culinary Institute.

'With Apollonio at helm of kitchen we will bring the chic fine-dining experience to a new level,' said Marco Aveta, operations manager at Radisson SAS DMC.

'Cuisine is all about good food and more. It is about style, ambiance and service and Certo has already scooped top honors at the Time Out awards for its innovative Italian dishes.'

He said that Certo is known as a trendy restaurant that serves a selection of antipasti, homemade pastas and a unique selection of pizzas from a traditional wood-fired oven.

The show kitchen features a wide selection of fine olive oils, while the six-metre tall special storage tower is an impressive focal point, housing 500 vineyard selections from around the world.
