COMO Cocoa Island is thrilled to welcome Federico Tidu as its new Executive Chef. With a rich culinary history in Michelin-starred restaurants, award-winning eateries, and luxury resorts, Chef Tidu is set to elevate the island’s dining experience.

Originally from Sardinia, Italy, Chef Tidu began his culinary journey at the age of 13, developing a deep connection with the fresh, local produce of his homeland. His Mediterranean influences are evident in his vibrant, balanced dishes that celebrate the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.
