From Bangladesh, he landed in Maiori four years ago. Shalom Mia, 32, quickly learned the mastery of Italian cuisine, precisely that of Campania and the Amalfi Coast, thanks in part to the support of all the staff at Pineta 1903, especially Carlo De Filippo and the chefs Provino Milo and Gianluca Giordano.
