Our story.
An epicurean with a sunlit eye.
Cristelle Doveri.
Born in Saint-Tropez to a family with Tuscan roots, Cristelle Doveri grew up on the French Riviera, amid generous cooking, southern light and an effortlessly warm way of life. In her family, everything happens around the table. That instinctive knack for turning every meal into a moment that counts shaped her love of sharing, of good company and of beautiful produce.
After a first career in journalism, she chose to return to her roots and founded Mamarazzi.
Rooted in that intimate heritage, Mamarazzi celebrates the Dolce Vita in the spirit of a new-generation mamma: modern, exacting and creative. Honest, generous, family cooking, where recipes handed down through the generations sit alongside a contemporary take on the art of entertaining.
Through shops with a warm and refined character, she now shares that heritage with true authenticity: family recipes, carefully selected produce and a world inspired by the Côte d’Azur she holds so dear.
“I traded the sunshine of my childhood for a jewel box that holds its colours, its flavours and its way of life.”
A cuisine, an atmosphere that carries a personal story forward and has now become a true signature.
Childhood
Côte d’AzurThe blue of the Mediterranean, the wild-herb scent of the garrigue and long family tables were the backdrop to her childhood. She learnt early on that cooking is about far more than recipes: it is a way of gathering together the people you love.

ParisAt eighteen, she came up to Paris to study. What was meant to be an interlude became a career of more than twenty years in the French and international press. Behind several of the biggest scoops of the 2000s, she moved as easily through the corridors of power as through the great media events of the day, in a world where rigour, discretion and integrity became her signature.

MamarazziAfter Covid, the urge to get back to what really matters became impossible to ignore. She changed her life, reconnected with her Italian roots and founded Mamarazzi. Her ambition was simple: to create in Asnières the caterer Paris had been missing. A house inspired by the Côte d’Azur and Italy, where family recipes, carefully chosen produce and the art of hospitality take centre stage.

A new addressThree years after opening, Mamarazzi took a new step, moving into the former Pierre-Yves Le Bourdonnec butcher’s shop, a landmark address a stone’s throw from Asnières station. A larger, more ambitious space, true to the brand’s vision: to let the Mediterranean art of living shine just west of Paris.

La Dolce Vita in ParisDelivering across Paris and its inner suburbs, Mamarazzi holds to one simple ambition: bringing people together around something good. Today, Mamarazzi caters for private clients and businesses alike at every moment that matters: team lunches, cocktail parties, weddings, birthdays, private receptions and corporate events.
A jewel box in place of the sun.
Arched shelves, a terracotta counter, bottles of olive oil and Italian wines in the window: every detail of the shop tells the story of the Riviera. An atmosphere that extends the story of the house and has become a signature in its own right.
Seven days a week, the kitchen serves up its dishes of the day. To take away or delivered, as a ready-made platter or a bespoke buffet, for private clients and businesses alike.
