Massimo's ability to bring a sense of calm and professionalism to the restaurant and nightlife business is rare. He was the key part in the turn around and rise to the top of the restaurants we had at SBE. From Katsuya to the Abbey, Massimo's brought superior fiscal results while cementing our concepts on every level. I recommend Massimo from both a professional and personal point of view.

I am very pleased to write a note of recommendation for Positive Hospitality & Entertainment. Massimo De Marco was really instrumental in helping to make my restaurant in Seattle, a huge success. Massimo knows the 'back-end' workings of a restaurant and has clearly fine-tuned his systems to a point where they work intuitively and well. I am really grateful for finding Massimo, and really glad I hired him to consult. He helped to make my restaurant everything I'd hoped to make it become.

I simply cannot recommend Dana highly enough! I have hired her repeatedly and she has never failed to exceed my expectations. She brings value and hard work to any event. She will save costs if she has to do it herself. She works tirelessly and seems to thrive with challenges. If there has been a last minute change, she steps up to meet the challenge even as a fantastic photographer! She is cost effective and conscious with any budget. She is fantastically creative and has great taste. Of all her qualities the one I value greatly is her stream attention to detail. No doubt, she will make your event a memorable one full of warmth and clads! she is a must hire!

I have hired Massimo De Marco of PH&E as a Business Consultant three times since 2010 to bring his sales techniques, thought process, and enthusiasm to my sales teams and organization. I highly recommend Massimo De Marco to any organization in need of revenue growth, building better team dynamics, and overall motivation to succeed.

I have worked with Massimo at Positive Hospitality and Entertainment for several years on a hand full of different projects. He continues to deliver an incredible capacity for creative and progressive thinking. His ability to respond to difficult circumstances with diplomacy and tact has bridged the gap between the failure and success of important clients. I highly affirm his work ethic, character and professional abilities.

I can't say enough about Massimo. Working with him was a joy! Immensely fair, even-handed, manages with style, flair and a firm sense of total service for the clients. I would work next to this man 24/7. And I would trust his direction and vision any day of the week.

Working with Massimo was a pleasure; he was a consummate professional. We opened 2 restaurants together and even though that is the most stressful time in hospitality, he was always executing and smiling. He is fair, straightforward and honest at all times. Massimo would be an asset and add value in any environment that he works in

Partner/Design Director. Studio Collective.
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Massimo while at SBE, I on the design side, him on the development and operations side. As anyone who has ever worked on any phase of opening a restaurant or nightlife venue can attest to, these can be quite stressful times and Massimo always brought a sense of calm and professionalism to help steer through them. His vast knowledge of the design and development process was apparent and allowed for effective decision-making and smooth sailing. As others have attested to, his positive outlook is infectious and should be considered an invaluable asset on any project. I cannot recommend Massimo highly enough and hope to have the pleasure of working with him and PH&E again in the near future.

It was a joy to work with Massimo; he exudes a charisma and enthusiasm that creates the space for everyone working with him to excel. He has a way of speaking that is inspiring and elicits excitement and cooperation among his staff. His knowledge of the hotel and restaurant industry is deeply engrained, as it has been a part of his life since childhood. I heartily recommend him and his Team at PH&E, and feel confident he will be an important asset to most businesses.

Massimo at Positive Hospitality and Entertainment has an incredible love for the hospitality industry, and earned great respect not only from his employers, but also from his fellow employees for his natural coaching, and mentoring skills. Always promoted a super positive attitude, and strived for perfection at every level. I feel privileged to have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Massimo.

Massimo Noja De Marco is an incredibly talented Personal Coach. The services that Massimo provided for me took my introvert personality and helped me become a public speaker within 2 months. Massimo helped me with scripts, and coached me on how to add passion when delivering my presentations. He taught me how to address audiences, and how to appeal to a camera. Before Massimo’s coaching I never spoke in public, but in less than a year, I was traveling throughout the USA and Canada speaking to audiences of 400-500 people. I recommend Massimo’s coaching to anyone who wants to break into the entertainment business, or anyone who wants to bring motivation to him/herself or their company.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Massimo and was able to watch as he mentored and trained new staff as our company was growing and adding outlets. His management style also played a key role in ensuring both the staff and the overall operation was a success.
