Massimiliano Faraone

Max moved to England from Riccione, a town near Rimini on the Adriatic coast 10 years ago. His shop has been established in Tunbridge Wells since 2002 and he has built a fantastic reputation for producing simple, traditional and very authentic Italian food.

The shop has a wonderful deli counter and a very busy lunch and dinner trade; Max has managed to create a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, which has customers hooked as soon as they walk through the door. Max's shop is like a small piece of Italy in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

As well as the shop his outside catering business has gone from strength to strength, he cooks for small dinner parties in your own home and caters for weddings and large parties regularly.
