restaurant in the town of Senigallia, an experience that enhanced his passion for

hospitality, service and wine.

In 2006, Savini decided to expand his horizons and share his knowledge of Italian

cuisine, gaining new exposure. After spending two years in St. Petersburg, Russia,

Savini took the opportunity to become executive chef at Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik,

Croatia.

“After two years with Hilton, I now have the honor of facing new challenges and the

opportunity to improve my skills in my role at Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest,” said

Savini. “I feel it is the combination of passion, skill and use of authentic products that

ensures a meal is enjoyable and of good palate.”

Savini’s first project in his new role will be to reopen Roberto’s Restaurant, which is

currently undergoing a complete renovation. Savini is confident he will ensure this

revamped eatery will become the first choice for locals, the expat community and

hotel guests, offering a new culinary experience.
