Andrew King
Executive Chef
Born in the
UK, Andrew has called Halifax home for most of his life. Andrew has been in the restaurant business
for over 20 years while attending university and traveling in between. After
deciding to make cooking his profession, he attended the Culinary Institute of
Canada in 1993. Andrew then had the good fortune of working with great chefs
both in Canada and internationally with whom he mastered his craft.
Andrew has been at da Maurizio since 1997, where he has honed his knowledge of Italian cooking from local legend and founder, Maurizio Bertossi. Since taking ownership in 2007, Andrew has enjoyed adding his personal touch to menu items while honoring its traditional roots.
Kevin Hannam
Sous Chef
Kevin has
been an important part of the team at Da Maurizio for over 10 years and has
been sous chef to Andrew for over 5 years. Originally from Annapolis Royal,
Nova Scotia, Kevin stayed close to home and cooked at various local resorts.
After moving to Halifax, Kevin’s skills have contributed greatly to the restaurant’s consistency. You can often find Kevin at the grill position where he prepares the meats to perfection or reducing sauces while calling the board.
Tanya King
Manager/Maitre D’
Tanya has worked in the restaurant industry for over 20 years, 10 of
which has been spent as Maitre D’ at Da Maurizio. After working in various hotels and restaurants in Halifax
and Bermuda, she is proud to be working in such a beautiful restaurant with an
incomparable staff.
Having received her Master of Arts Degree from Dalhousie University, she is pleasantly surprised to be a restaurateur and enjoys so much working side by side with husband and business partner Andrew. When not at work you can find Tanya and Andrew enjoying time with their daughter Francesca (who is also a big fan of Armando’s gnocchi!!).
