    The Legendary Cannes Film Festival opens May, 2016 in the South of France, right around the same time that celebrity favorite MAMO restaurant celebrates its first year in New York’s bustling SoHo neighborhood. MAMO New York is the transatlantic sister to Cannes film festival go-to restaurant MAMO Le Michelangelo, a two decades old French Riviera staple and favorite among movie stars and socialites alike.

    MAMO, the younger SoHo sibling, is run by Italian restauranteur Mike “Mamo” Mammoliti (son of MAMO Le Michelangelo’s Herve Mammoliti) and maintains the same authentic feel and dedication to Provençal flavors as its Antibes namesake. Just like MAMO Le Michelangelo, MAMO New York attracts a wide array of celebrities, including Rhianna, Magic Johnson, Alexander Wang, Diane Kruger, Samuel L. Jackson, Gigi Hadid, Beyonce and Jay Z.

Drawing on colors and nature as inspiration, Sola is known for his simple yet eye catching dishes. Some of MAMO’s signature offerings include their flavorful Tagliata Di Filetto Al Vino Rosso, the MAMO Burger and the very popular home-style Capri salad. For those with a sweet tooth, MAMO also offers delicious desserts such as the classic Tiramisu, the rich Affogato alla vaniglia con fragole calde and the Cheesecake alla lavanda (cheesecake with a lavender twist).

     MAMO offers diners traditional southern Italian/French cuisine in an intimate yet elegant setting. The bi-level restaurant includes a casual lounge on the ground floor and a formal dining room upstairs. Both spaces capture the Riviera’s “sense of home” with original family photos and oversized vintage movie posters. The decor also incorporates classic New York-inspired touches such as exposed brick walls.

    To complement the flavorful dishes, MAMO also boasts an impressive cocktail menu from which diners can enjoy specialty cocktails such as the MAMO Negroni, the MAMO Spritz and their one-of-a-kind Truffle Martini.

    Located on West Broadway between Grand and Canal Streets, MAMO restaurant is a purveyor of affectionate Italian and Provençal dining experience. MAMO is bringing a long tradition of Italian hospitality and Provençal charm to New York City’s SoHo neighborhood. MAMO, The New York outpost of Le Michelangelo, a 23-year-old staple located on the French Riviera, boasts Michelin-starred chef Massimo Sola (formerly of Eataly Roma, Ristorante Quattro Mori) as executive chef.

The multi-level restaurant offers an unforgettable experience where every single person is treated with affection and love.

    Massimo Sola is the Executive Chef at the SoHo Provençal restaurant MAMO. Massimo is originally from Milan and has been in the culinary industry for 32 years. From 1985, he studied in Liguria at Istituto Migliorini Hotel School.

    After then working in Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy and Lebanon, Sola opened his restaurant Ristorante Quattro Mori in Varese, Italy in 1993. This restaurant received a Michelin star in November 2007. Throughout his tenure at the restaurant, he emphasized the use of high quality techniques in a simple manner.

    On the heels of the success at Ristorante Quattro Mori, he won Best Chef of the Lombardia region in 2009. Sola then went on to become the Executive Chef at Eataly in Rome in 2012, where he worked for a year and a half. In 2014, Chef Massimo joined Mike Mammoliti to open the New York outpost of the popular Provencal restaurant, MAMO Le Michelangelo. At MAMO, Sola skillfully prepares the menu passed on from MAMO with his Michelin-starred technique and crafts consistent market specials.

    Chef Sola also won the Il Primo Manhattan 2016 competition for New York’s best pasta dish – his winning dish was an exquisite spin on a traditional pasta carbonara, or as the judges called it, a “quasi carbonara” made with finesse and elegance.

    Chef Massimo now lives in New York City. During his free time, he enjoys walking through different neighborhoods, taking pictures and eating at Michelin starred restaurants.

    Cali Style: Savi Style Activewear


    The story of SAVI STYLE™ is about two up-and-coming entrepreneurs demonstrating their passion by fully pursuing a concept and vision given all the challenges it presents.

    Terry Leon (first generation Mexican) and Iris Lopez (first generation Salvadoran) sought out to achieve the American Dream and didn’t let any roadblocks get in the way. They both grew up in southern California, graduated from college, and both have their daily jobs. Even though buried with living expenses, student loans, and their own weddings in 2016 – they wanted more with their careers.

    Now Terry and Iris are entrepreneurs, founding SAVI STYLE over 6 months ago and their first product to market is SAVI SLEEK™, a fashionable and functional hair tie bracelet for all occasions. SAVI SLEEK is a stunning bracelet that holds your hair tie while looking seamless and comfortable for whatever life throws your way. It transforms a very important necessity into a beautiful accessory.

    “Becoming an entrepreneur is such a surreal thing given all the challenges of starting your own company and developing a product.” said Terry Leon (Founder). “I even used the Airbnb platform to rent out personal space to raise money for development and prototyping.”

    SAVI SLEEK is launching November 2nd and will have deals available that deliver in time for the holiday season.

    “Our lives seem to get busier and busier so finding the time to develop an ideal brand and product absorbed all of our so-called “free time” as it took late nights, early mornings, and the weekends in order to launch this November.” said Terry. “The past six months have been a blur and we’re confident it will all pay off with a successful launch. We know the work won’t stop and we’re really excited to interact with our customers”.

    SAVI SLEEK was developed with clean lines, perfect angles, and a minimalist approach. It provides the flexibility that allows you to place your arm on any surface without the risk of pain or discomfort as the bracelet molds to your body. SAVI SLEEK is safe, made of medical grade silicon that provides water and sweat proof protection. All made in the USA.

    “We want SAVI SLEEK to be a part of you, your second skin, and to bring fashion to your everyday necessity.” said Terry Leon.

    Now that’s a breath of fresh air to hear about an inspiring story of two young women who had the drive to accomplish so much given the challenges every entrepreneur faces towards achieving the true American Dream!

    The SAVI SLEEK Bracelet will launch November 2 on Kickstarter and available for preorder at www.savistyle.com.
