Unsung Hero: The Maestro of Service at Le Sirenuse

Vincenzo Galani - Maître d’ of Le Sirenuse Hotel, Amalfi Coast, Italy

For over 43 years, Vincenzo has been more than the maître d’ – he has been the beating heart of La Sponda. With effortless charm and quiet elegance, he has welcomed guests from every corner of the world: artists, actors, diplomats, royals, locals, and lifelong lovers of food and wine.

To be greeted by Vincenzo is to experience hospitality as an art form. A warm smile. A thoughtful glance to ensure everything is just so. A moment of poetry, perhaps improvised. For the lucky few, an impromptu sketch or a timeless Italian melody shared with the restaurant’s musicians – the kind of gesture that lingers in memory long after the last candle flickers out.

Guests return to Le Sirenuse not only for the cuisine or the view, but to be in Vincenzo’s presence – though never on a Wednesday, his well-deserved day of rest.

He may not seek the spotlight, yet those who know describe him as a gentle, artistic soul. Vincenzo is, without question, a legend of the Amalfi Coast, whose grace has shaped unforgettable evenings for generations.
