Our Cuisine
I just wish I could find the words to describe the competence and passion of Mimmo, our Chef, but it’s not easy! How can you describe such a symphony of flavours, scents, and sensations if you haven’t yet had the pleasure of sampling them?
So don’t miss the chance to discover and enjoy Mimmo’s culinary creations …. You won’t forget them!
General Manager
Daniele Calesini
Because well-being begins with good food!
Amaze with simplicity, bringing into play heart, mind, and senses …
This is the aim of our Restaurant and of our Chef Mimmo, the best Chef in town, with his thirty years’ experience managing the kitchens of all the best hotels. His experience and knowledge of gastronomy are encyclopaedic, and he has organised banquets, lunches and dinners for all the town’s VIP guests, including Lady Diana, Gorbachev, Bush, Fellini, and many others. Mimmo’s cuisine guarantees top quality ingredients and great attention to the composition of the dishes served. His specialities are works of art!
Here are some of our truly exclusive menus:
- "Country Fare", rustic-style pasta dishes such as maltagliati, hand-made tagliatelle, and the unrivalled cappelletti in capon consommé.
- "Flavours of Our Land", now-vanished dishes from our farming traditions, re-discovered and re-created by Mimmo’s clever hands.
- "Gifts from the Sea", fish dishes, including our local sailors’ favourite mixed fried fish, served with a delicate tartare sauce. A masterpiece.
- "And the Ship Sails On", an assortment of fish dishes, much loved by the great Federico Fellini.
Ennio Stocco, celebrity maître d’
Ennio Stocco is not simply our maître d’. We prefer to think of him as an extraordinary master of ceremonies, a person with unsurpassed competence and class, as well as someone who is naturally gifted with the ability to make every guest in the dining room feel totally at ease.
And things couldn’t possibly have turned out differently. His vocation has grown over more than thirty years. He worked initially as maître d’ at the legendary Grand Hotel in Rimini, where he developed the incomparable professionalism he now offers guests of the Clarion Hotel Admiral Palace.
During his career, our maître d’ has served practically all the celebrities and famous figures that have stayed in Rimini. A unique experience that has permitted him to write his book entitled “Ennio Stocco Maître al Grand Hotel” (Ennio Stocco, maître d’ at the Grand Hotel), a surprising anthology of his memoirs and curiosities linked to his long career.
The quality of a maître d’
The exclusive professionalism with which our maître d’ welcomes guests to the Clarion Hotel Admiral Palace has been acknowledged by important official recognitions. In fact, Ennio can boast numerous awards including:
- "Gran Maestro della Ristorazione”, an award presented in Trieste in 2005
- "Career Award 2007"
- “Professional of the Year Award 2008”
Thanks to Ennio, our chef Mimmo and the entire hotel staff we are certain to offer you the most remarkable professionals in the sector; all designed to guarantee a quality stay that we cannot describe, but you can only experience.
