Marriott Marquis Dubai at Jewel of the Creek Appoints Chef Oscar Cimmino as Executive Chef

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 7 May 2025: Marriott Marquis Dubai at Jewel of the Creek is delighted to announce the appointment of Chef Oscar Cimmino as the new Executive Chef. With over 10 years of experience in Italian cuisine, Chef Cimmino brings his passion for authentic Neapolitan flavours and innovative culinary techniques to the hotel, further enhancing the property’s reputation for exceptional dining experiences.

Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Chef Oscar’s love affair with food began at an early age, learning the secrets of authentic Neapolitan cuisine in his mother’s kitchen. His journey in the culinary world has taken him across Italy and beyond, including esteemed roles in prestigious hotels in Rimini, Trentino Alto Adige, London, Lisbon, Vienna, and most recently, Dubai. His dedication to the art of Italian cooking, especially seafood, has earned him rave reviews, particularly for his signature dish, Spaghetti with Clams.

Chef Cimmino’s philosophy is simple: “Every plate tells a story.” He believes that food is a language that connects people, evoking memories and emotions. This passion for storytelling through cuisine has led him to embrace new flavours and modern styles, with a particular focus on fresh, local ingredients that reflect the essence of Southern Italy.

With a strong background in kitchen management, Chef Cimmino has demonstrated expertise in leading culinary teams, creating innovative menus, and ensuring the highest standards of food quality and safety. During his time with Renaissance Business Bay and Sheraton Dubai Creek & Tower, he successfully led pre-opening teams, developed menus that aligned with market trends, and implemented cost-control measures to increase profitability.

At Marriott Marquis Dubai at Jewel of the Creek, Chef Oscar will oversee the culinary operations across the property, ensuring that each dining experience reflects his commitment to authenticity, innovation, and excellence. His dedication to creating memorable guest experiences will be instrumental in enhancing the property’s already exceptional culinary offerings.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Oscar Cimmino to our team,” said Fredrik Reinisch, General Manager at Marriott Marquis Dubai. “His passion for Italian cuisine, his innovative approach to cooking, and his leadership in the kitchen will elevate the dining experiences at the hotel and make a lasting impact on our guests.”
