About
Welcome to MAYA, a new oceanfront dining experience in the heart of Pier Village from Chef Nina Clemente.
Born in Italy and raised in New York City, Executive Chef Nina Clemente realized the possibilities of transforming local ingredients into Southern Italian feasts through watching her mother make traditional, delicious, and seasonal cuisine. These childhood experiences inspired her to make food her career, striving to bridge both cultures from her upbringing through her cooking – preparing delicious food, and reveling in the memorable gatherings that her food inspires. Chef Clemente’s resume includes stints at top restaurants across the globe, including Osteria Mozza under Nancy Silverman; The Standard, High Line; The Smile Group, and at bygone restaurant Maya under Chef Maya Gurley, a staple in St Barths for over two decades that serves as the inspiration for Chef Clemente’s newest venture.
