History

A food-family affair

Michelle

The story behind Ristorante la Vela is as unique as the food we serve. A mixture of passion, determination and hard work, paved the way for our restaurant over a decade ago.

Ristorante La Vela as a concept was conceived by Michelle Muscat back in 2008. Accountant by profession, Muscat comes from a food-loving family with a long history in the catering business. La Vela started out as a hobby, however by time, it became a full-time job infused with much passion and dedication.

Through persistence and hard work, Michelle Muscat along with her team of talented chefs, created a place where wonder and amazement are merged into one, a place where you can enjoy a lovely meal and a great time.

This popular dining spot is not only known for its atmospheric ambience, but also for the wonderful dishes which are served to customers. Ristorante La Vela is known for hosting a number of celebrities including many popular singers, actors and football personalities from all over the world.

La Storia dello Chef

Dino is geboren in de Zuid-Italiaanse streek Salento, waar veel gerechten van Il Fiore zijn oorsprong vinden. Als kind stond hij al met veel liefde in de keuken terwijl hij zijn moeder hielp bij het maken van verse pasta’s.

Toen Dino op zijn dertiende naar Maasmechelen verhuisde, werd hij de buurjongen van zijn toekomstige echtgenote Diana Pani. Diana, wiens familie afkomstig is uit het zonnige Sardinië, deelde zijn liefde voor pure ingrediënten en gerechten.

In de woorden van Dino: “Wij doen niet aan confusion cooking.” 26 jaar na hun trouwdag staan de jeugdliefdes nog altijd met dezelfde hartstocht in de keuken.

Hun warmte en gastvrijheid is binnen Maastricht ongeëvenaard en laat gasten even het gevoel van Zuid-Italië proeven. Dino en Diana zijn het hart van Il Fiore.

Il Nostro Risto-Pub

Un'ottima birreria.
