He also was responsible in coaching and guiding the apprentice team in Italy, who acclaimed the 2nd place in a 9 team challenged event.
Currently Sous Chef at the Westin Dragonara Resort, in Malta, Mr. Amato is undoubtfully a role model in organisation and management, in the culinary trade, and for the team members who form part of the chefmalta team, and those who will join the team for future events.
