The world’s youngest three-star Michelin chef, Massimiliano (Max) Alajmo is esteemed by both his clients and peers for his clever interpretation of traditional Italian flavors. Born in 1974, Max came into the world with an innate culinary and cultural curiosity. Together with his brother Raffaele (Raf), he is a part of the third generation of the Alajmo family self- employed as chefs and restaurateurs.

At Le Calandre, guests can experience his conceptual, yet playful cuisine in a multisensory context. Classic dishes, like his cuttlefish cappuccino or saffron rice with liquorice powder, are served in plates and glassware designed by the Alajmo brothers and produced by renowned Italian artisans. In fact, everything in the dining room, from the wooden tables to the wine glasses and lighting, was designed as a reflection of the chef’s culinary philosophy, creating a harmonious environment.

Today, Max manages the kitchens of the Alajmo family’s fourteen restaurants, including – Le Calandre (Rubano, PD), Grancaffè & Ristorante Quadri (Venice), Le Cementine (H- Farm, Treviso), Alajmo Cortina (Cortina d’Ampezzo,BL), Caffè Stern (Paris), Sesamo (Royal Mansour Marrakech) and Coccinella (Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay).
