It’s great to have him on board!” said Richard Finn, general manager, Hilton Cambridge City Centre.Spalvieri began his culinary career in Italy, where he completed a five-year Diploma in Professional Culinary Arts at Marco Gavio Apicio in Anzio. He went on to develop his skills in independent Italian restaurants, including Ristorante Il Vittoria in Nettuno and Satricum, a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant in Latina.His years working in restaurants along the Italian coast played an important role in shaping his approach to food. Working with seafood arriving from local boats and fish markets taught him to respond to seasonality and develop menus around the freshest ingredients available.Spalvieri later became head chef at Sapori di Mare in Anzio, where he led the kitchen team, developed seasonal menus and oversaw private events.

His approach is shaped by his Italian training, his experience working with fresh seafood and the food cultures he has encountered through travel.At the heart of his philosophy is a commitment to sourcing the best-quality products available and drawing as much flavour as possible from every ingredient. He believes every component should contribute to a balanced dish and, while presentation creates the first impression, taste should always remain the priority.At Hilton Cambridge City Centre, Spalvieri plans to work closely with the kitchen team to develop seasonal specials, monthly themed Supper Clubs and customised menus for conferences and events.
