Crystal is partnering with three Michelin-star chef Massimiliano Alajmo and his brother Raffaele to bring their expertise to sea with a new specialty dining venue, Osteria d’Ovidio. Alajmo, who has retained his three Michelin stars for an unprecedented 22 years, and his brother plan to offer a dining experience based on the heritage of Italian cuisine.
“We are incredibly honored to collaborate with Chef Massimiliano Alajmo and his brother Raffaele,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. “Their culinary mastery aligns perfectly with our vision of providing unparalleled dining experiences to our guests.”
Alajmo will work directly with Crystal’s culinary team to ensure fresh and local ingredients are sourced for all dishes, including specialty items from Italy. Additionally, Alajmo will work with Crystal’s sommeliers to launch specialty wine pairings for the restaurant.
The menu for Osteria d’Ovidio will be announced at a later date.
In addition to the specially-created menu that will be featured at Osteria d’Ovidio, Crystal guests will have the ability to dine at Alajmo’s restaurants Le Calandre in Padua and Grancaffe & Ristorante Quadri in Venice through sister brand Abercrombie & Kent’s specially curated shore excursions.
