The Blu Oltremare staff
Victor Alfieri
Creative Chef
Vittorio is the creative soul of Blu Oltremare, the chef who loves to surprise with unusual combinations, refined presentations and out-of-the-box thinking.
Young but with great experience, he combines technique and intuition to transform each dish into an exploration of flavors and shapes. His strength lies in daring with balance: a simple ingredient can become the protagonist, a classic can be reborn with a modern and unexpected touch.
For Vittorio, cooking is like painting: each dish has its own rhythm, its own color, its own story. And each guest deserves to experience a different, exciting, personal one.
Alexander Reindeer
Executive Chef
Behind every dish at Blu Oltremare is the expert hand and creative soul of Alessandro, a chef with years of experience in seafood cuisine and a deep knowledge of local fish.
Apulian by origin and spirit, Alessandro has built his culinary philosophy on the balance between tradition and innovation: he loves to enhance fresh fish, work it with respect and present it in an essential but surprising way.
Each creation is born from an impeccable raw material, carefully chosen every day, and comes to life thanks to precise techniques, authentic passion and a visceral love for the sea.
For him, cooking is not just a job, but a way to tell about his land, with a language made of clean flavors, intense aromas and harmonious consistencies.
Joseph Soprano
Head of Hall
With an ever-ready smile and a natural predisposition to listening, Giuseppe is the beating heart of hospitality at Blu Oltremare.
An expert wine connoisseur, he accompanies each guest on a sensory journey through the scents of the sea and the most representative labels of the area and beyond. His attention to detail, human warmth and ability to put everyone at ease make him a point of reference for those looking not just for a dinner, but for an experience.
For Giuseppe, every service is an opportunity to create authentic connections, tell stories of taste and transform a meal into a moment to remember.
Amelia Tomai
Plongist
Behind the scenes of every impeccable service is Amelia, a discreet but fundamental presence in the operational heart of the Blu Oltremare kitchen.
With tireless hands and a watchful eye, he takes care of the cleanliness and efficiency of the brigade, allowing the chef and his team to work with precision and serenity. Nothing escapes his control: every dish, pot and work surface are perfect again, ready to tell a new story of the sea.
Amelia is the invisible balance that keeps everything in its place, with dedication, respect and silent professionalism.
Pierciro Marangia
Founder and soul of Blu Oltremare
There is a thread that ties together every stage of Pierciro Marangia's life: the sea, his land and his love for authentic hospitality. After having created, together with his wife Flavia Calvelli, the bar and ice cream shop 37 meters above sea level - today a true institution in the heart of Pulsano - Pierciro felt the need to go further, to transform a secret dream into a new adventure.
This is how Blu Oltremare was born: not just a restaurant, but the deepest expression of his vision. An elegant and welcoming place where every detail is taken care of with passion, where the sea is breathed, tasted and lived.
Next to him, as always, is Flavia, a silent but essential presence, with her refined taste, her sensitivity and the dedication that made the first project great. Together they share not only a life path, but a common vision: to create places that speak to the heart, even before the palate.
Blu Oltremare is this: a dream come true with four hands, suspended between sky and sea, ready to welcome those seeking an authentic, sincere, memorable experience.
