Focusing mainly on fish, his knowledge allows him to choose the best way of preparing food to get the most flavour, from grilling, poaching, roasting and more. As Executive Chef at The Carlton Tower across all culinary experiences, Parisi will draw inspiration from his love for The Bay of Naples and will bring this to the heart of Knightsbridge.

Parisi has several ambitions and ideas for The Carlton Tower Jumeirah, and wishes to hero the food and beverage aspect from Al Mare, The Chinoiserie and in room dining, creating a number one destination for global travellers and Londoners alike. Focusing on fresh produce, the finest ingredients and more, Parisi is determined to thrive and lead a team to gastronomic excellence.
