“I have been working in, with and for the hospitality industry for more than 40 years. I value the strong network, reputation and trust gained amongst my peers and colleagues.  I can be persuasive and influential to leverage industry participation and support for programs.  I am a huge advocate of training and development for employees and business owners.”

Matteo Pignatelli graduated with a Diploma of Business in Hospitality Management from the

William Angliss Institute in 1989, after winning individual awards for Culinary studies, Food and Beverage Operations and Most Outstanding Student.

Pignatelli opened Matteo’s in 1994 in the building once occupied by Mietta’s in North Fitzroy.  

Since opening, Matteo’s has built a strong following and a fine reputation. This is not only reflected by its loyal customer base, but by the many awards won through Matteo and his staff’s commitment to a high standard of cuisine and service.
