Guest Chef Michele Zambanini will be presenting a gastronomic adventure at Dolce Vita in Mandarin Oriental, Singapore from 4 to 7 February 2015. With over 15 years at Villa d'Este and well-known for his culinary background and flair of incorporating traditional flavours in varied styles, this is an experience not to be missed!
