Mumbai, Mar 25: JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar is one of the city’s most iconic luxury destinations, renowned for its world-class hospitality, impeccable service, and an exceptional dining landscape that sets it apart. Central to that dining legacy is Romano’s, the hotel’s signature Italian restaurant. Romano’s at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar presents its most anticipated culinary event of the season: an exclusive Chef Takeover by internationally acclaimed Italian Chef Bruno Ferrari, running from 4th to 6th April 2026, a rare, unmissable encounter with one of the most celebrated culinary minds in the world.
Bringing with him over two decades of global culinary experience and a deep reverence for Italy’s rich regional traditions, Chef Ferrari is celebrated for his Michelin-recognised restaurant concepts across Asia and his rare ability to bring the most authentic, rarely-seen corners of Italian cuisine to the table. A native of Abruzzo, his cooking is a masterclass in honesty, rooted in heritage, elevated by craft.
You can look forward to a thoughtfully curated à la carte dinner menu across all three evenings, showcasing unique dishes rarely experienced in Mumbai, Pallotte Cacio e Ova (traditional Abruzzese cheese and egg dumplings), Orecchiette alle Cime di Rapa from the sun-drenched kitchens of Puglia, Brodetto di Pesce Adriatico, and mains including the classic Agnello al Forno con Patate and the delicate Branzino al Limone e Capperi. Desserts celebrate the season with Pastiera Napoletana, Torta Caprese, and Cannoli Siciliani.
Adding to the occasion, Chef Ferrari has curated a special Easter Brunch on Sunday, 5th April, a lavish, abundant celebration of Italy’s most beloved family tradition. A sweeping cold and hot buffet, live stations, six handcrafted pastas and risotti prepared à la carte, and a showstopping dessert spread crowned by the iconic Colomba Pasquale making this an experience not to be missed.
More than a chef takeover, this is an invitation to experience Italy the way it is truly lived, through recipes that carry centuries of memory, crafted by a chef who has spent a lifetime keeping those traditions alive.
Sharing his excitement ahead of the Mumbai visit, Chef Bruno Ferrari said,
“Italy has hundreds of regional recipes that the world has never tasted. When I travel, my mission is always the same, to bring those stories to the table, with the same honesty and soul you would find in an Italian home or a family trattoria. Mumbai is a city that truly understands food, and I cannot wait to cook here.”
“At JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, we are always looking to create dining experiences that go beyond the expected. Having Chef Bruno Ferrari at Romano’s is a truly special occasion, he brings with him an extraordinary depth of knowledge of regional Italian cuisine that is rare to find anywhere in the world, let alone in Mumbai. We are excited to welcome him and of er our guests a genuinely authentic taste of Italy,” says Chef Prakash Chettiyar, Director of Culinary, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar
