Marriott Marquis City Center Doha is pleased to announce the appointment of Chef Piero Nogaro to lead Cucina, the hotel’s signature Italian kitchen.
An Italian chef with more than three decades of culinary experience, he brings to Cucina a lifelong connection to Italian cuisine, shaped by his upbringing in Italy, his family’s culinary heritage and an international career spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia and beyond.
Chef Piero’s career has included senior culinary roles across Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Morocco, the Maldives, Jordan and Norway, alongside international consulting work across London, Zurich, Hong Kong, New York and the Caribbean.
His journey brings him back to Doha, a city he has previously called home during his culinary career.
“Coming to Cucina feels very personal to me,” he said. “It is an opportunity to return to the cuisine that shaped me and share a genuine part of my heritage with our guests in Doha. I want people to feel the warmth, generosity and spirit of Italy through the food, the flavours and the experience.
“What makes Chef Piero particularly exciting for Cucina is the genuine connection that he has with Italian cuisine. His roots, combined with his extensive international experience and his previous experience in Doha, give him a wonderful foundation to lead the restaurant into its next chapter,” said Marriott Marquis City Center Doha Hotel and Marriott Executive Apartments City Center Doha Hotel multi-property general manager Paul M Cannings.
