Davide Bonamici

Driven by passion, defined by excellence.

Hospitality isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am. With deep roots in Rome, Italy, and a career forged through every role in the restaurant world, from the heat of the kitchen to the finesse of fine dining management, I bring a wealth of experience, unwavering dedication, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.

Joining the Piva Modern Italian Team was a natural step, fueled by a bold entrepreneurial spirit and a belief in the power of exceptional concepts. At Piva, my mission is clear: to craft unforgettable experiences for every guest, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the moment, savor extraordinary cuisine, and feel truly cared for from start to finish.

Subraaz Abdullah

I am the Executive Chef at Piva Modern Italian and have 25 years of culinary experience under my belt. I began my culinary career when I was 14-years-old and have been working in kitchens since. This path has led me to so many places and I have met so many amazing people, all of which have made me who I am today.

The thing I love most is when I can see people enjoying my food, it brings me a great sense of joy. I also love finding ways to put new spins on classic dishes. I feel incredibly bless to do what I love, and it truly is a dream come true to have the opportunity to bring my imagination to life through food and feeding people.

I really enjoy watching my team grow and mentoring the next generation of cooks. I am always looking for new recipes and researching new ways to bring incredible flavours from the kitchen to the table.
