Ravello, ITALY - March 28, 2013 - The Amalfi Coast's prized jewel - Palazzo Avino (formerly Palazzo Sasso) - reopens today with a name change, a new Michelin Chef and fantastic new “Stay-With-Us” options.
In its first season as Palazzo Avino (the founding family's name), the hotel is proud to introduce Executive Chef Michele Deleo - long-known on the Amalfi Coast for his extraordinary culinary talent - to oversee its highly renowned Rossellinis Restaurant. Chef Michele Deleo's culinary wonders fuse local seasonal ingredients with creative contemporary cooking techniques.
