Andrea Rezzi - Ormeggio.jpeg

Andrea Rezzi

Chef

Roman born Italian Chef Andrea completed his chef studies in Italy and worked in London with the famous Tuscan Frescobaldi family. This was a wonderful opportunity for Andrea to both explore his fine yet traditional Italian cooking, as well as excite him with the challenges of opening a new restaurant, learning a new language and experiencing a new culture. What a learning ground indeed. He moved on to Sardinia, in the famed Cala di Volpe hotel, the very same as Alessandro Pavoni’s experience, and onwards to various restaurants and hotels throughout Italy and London.

 

Andrea joined the Chiosco by Ormeggio team in 2021 and we were proud to have him begin his first foray into leading a team as Chef.

In 2024 Andrea stepped into the Chef role of our flagship Italian seafood fine-diner, Ormeggio at The Spit. It is exciting for Andrea to lean into his seafood skills, and continue to take inspiration from his Italian roots, albeit in a more contemporary and precise format. In his time at Chiosco he developed a loyal following of fans with his skills, technique, knowledge, and overall ‘Italian-ness’. He proved himself as not only a great cook but also an ambitious, creative, and reliable chef with a passion for his work. Andrea is a welcome addition to the Ormeggio Team.

 

Jan-Broder Timm Ormeggio at the Spit Mosman Middle Harbour Restaurant Manager

Jan-Broder Timm

Restaurant Manager

Introducing Jan-Broder Timm, Ormeggio’s new Restaurant Manager 2023.

Having worked in multiple Michelin star venues in Europe, Jan arrived in Australia in 2016 looking for his next experience in the unique casual fine-dining scene in Sydney. With his skills, experience, wine knowledge, and passion for the industry he enjoyed great career success since then, and fortunately for us chose to stay here! Working in Sydney and hearing guests and food critics refer to a great lunch or dinner as an ‘experience' rather than just a ‘meal’ profoundly affected Jan and brought a completely different aspect to how he viewed the hospitality profession.

You might recognise his face from his stint with our friends at Pilu at Freshwater, or from other iconic venues such as Park Hyatt Sydney and Cottage Point Inn.

Jan has joined Ormeggio as Restaurant Manager in 2023.
