Dubai, 27 February 2020: Media Rotana, Dubai, is pleased to announce the appointment of Fortunato Leocata as its new Chef.

Fortunato’s vast experience comes from his passion at a very young age cooking with his mother, which paved his way to transforming cooking into real art. One of his many milestones was serving for a decade in UK, serving his unique dishes while working with various reputable hotels. He didn’t stop at land, but also embarked on a culinary journey on a cruise ship for almost a year; it was a beautiful and eye-opening experience says Fortunato. The same ship docked in Dubai, introducing him to the glamour of the UAE.

In his own words, “My journey still continues with ever-gaining experience in terms of pre-opening and effective operations”.

Fortunato is no stranger to Rotana, he’s been a part of the big family since 2017, he still has his culinary passion and is totally excited about his new position as he looks forward to bringing further success to Rotana.
