Michelin Star Chef Jacopo Chieppa to Host Exclusive Culinary Event at Sun Siyam Iru Veli

Michelin Star Chef Jacopo Chieppa at Sun Siyam Iru Veli

Sun Siyam Iru Veli will host an extraordinary culinary event from March 4 to 15, 2025, featuring the acclaimed Michelin-starred Chef Jacopo Chieppa. Known for his innovative approach to Italian cuisine and his expertise in leavened creations, Chef Chieppa will bring his culinary mastery to the Maldives, offering guests a unique dining experience during his residency.

Throughout his stay, Chef Chieppa will collaborate closely with the resort’s culinary team to revamp the menus at Roma, an overwater restaurant celebrated for its Mediterranean flavors. He will personally oversee two exclusive dinners on March 10 and 13, 2025, where guests will enjoy his signature dishes paired with premium wines. As a result, these evenings will deliver a refined and immersive dining experience, with each course showcasing Chef Chieppa’s culinary artistry.

A Journey Rooted in Italian Culinary Tradition

Chef Jacopo Chieppa’s remarkable career has its foundation in Liguria, where he opened Equilibrio, a fine dining restaurant in the serene village of Dolcedo. Set in a restored mill along a tranquil river, Equilibrio offers dishes inspired by Chef Chieppa’s personal experiences and the rich ingredients of his homeland. For example, standout creations like the playful “Minestrone on Canvas” and the nostalgic “Picnic” reflect his deep connection to his roots. Breadmaking remains central to his philosophy, with each meal featuring artisanal focaccia or pizza. Moreover, within just two years of opening, Equilibrio earned a Michelin star, highlighting Chef Chieppa’s culinary expertise.

Before establishing Equilibrio, the Michelin star Chef Chieppa refined his skills at Mirazur, a world-renowned restaurant under the direction of Mauro Colagreco, where he specialized in haute cuisine. In addition, he also founded Kilo, a pizzeria known for its exceptional dough and commitment to local ingredients, securing a place in the prestigious 50 Top Pizza rankings.

Therefore, as part of the Sun Siyam Resorts’ signature chef residency program, Chef Chieppa will bring his distinctive Italian flavors to Sun Siyam Iru Veli, offering an unforgettable culinary experience for the resort’s guests. His residency promises to be a culinary highlight of 2025, merging tradition with modern creativity.
