Chef Umberto Bombana Reunites with Protégés for 'The Grand Bombana Feast'

Italian cuisine takes the spotlight at Galaxy Macau this April as Chef Umberto Bombana reunites the BOMBANA family of restaurants for "The Grand BOMBANA Feast," a two-day dining celebration honoring Italian culinary heritage — recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Widely regarded as the “King of White Truffles,” Bombana is the chef behind 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Hong Kong, the Three MICHELIN Star restaurant that made history as the first Italian establishment outside Italy to achieve the accolade.
For this rare gathering, Bombana brings together his protégés, now helming MICHELIN-starred kitchens across Macau, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Bangkok, for an immersive tasting experience shaped by mentorship, tradition, and global perspective.
Held on Apr. 18, 2026 (dinner) and Apr. 19, 2026 (lunch and dinner), the event sees each chef present a personal interpretation of Italian cuisine rooted in classical techniques, elevated by premium produce, and refined through years of collaboration under Bombana’s guidance. Together, the courses form a multi-city narrative that reflects Italy’s enduring gastronomic legacy in a contemporary, international context.
The stellar lineup includes Chef Umberto Bombana himself (Three MICHELIN Stars) alongside Marino D’Antonio of 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Macau (One MICHELIN Star), Nicoló Rotella of 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Shanghai (Two MICHELIN Stars), Giuseppe de Vuono of Octavium (Two MICHELIN Stars), Keith Yam of Tuber (One MICHELIN Star), and Andrea Susto of Cannubi (One MICHELIN Star), each representing award-winning kitchens featured in the MICHELIN Guide.

"The Grand BOMBANA Feast" offers lunch tasting menus priced at MOP1,680 per person with optional wine pairing for MOP980, while dinner tasting menus are available at MOP3,280 per person, with wine pairing for an additional MOP1,880.
