The Italian brunch was prepared by Park Hayat Executive Chef Ali A. Benali with all Italian products and Italian ingredients to give the taste of Italy to the guests of the Park Hyatt.
The chef made all types of Italian pasta with more than 15 homemade and branded pastas, Italian risotto; different selections of Italian cheeses, Italian prosciutto; pizza; Italian dessert; Italian coffee, juices and fruits to give a taste of Italian flavors. 
“The very special thing about today is Chef Martini who is part of the festival,” he said.

Marco Martini explained that he found Park Hyatt an excellent place. “We learned a lot by experiencing the Saudi culture and tradition.”
