then strolled out the door and into the wonderful, gracious care of Giovanni Burrafato, the maestro and maître d' of "Aromi."
Maestro= mästerkock kanske. Sedan kanske maitre d´hotel eller något. Alltså skulle jag kanske gissa på mästerkock och huvudkypare. Men vill gärna ha ett tips.

the maestro and maître d'Aromi
virtuosen och aromernas mästare


Explanation:

Både "maestro" och "maître" betyder "mästare", det senare kommer från franskan. Således föreslår jag "virtuos" för "maestro", för att man ska kunna upprepa det på svenska utan att skriva "mästare" två gånger. Nog kan man ju vara en virtuos i köket!

"maître d' of "Aromi." är ju lite tokigt, eftersom enelskans "of" motsvarar franskans "d'"... :-) Det borde alltså stå "maître d'Aromi" (vilket ju också är en språkblandning) Men man menar förmodligen "aromernas mästare", vilket passar väl i sammanhanget.

disagree  Sven Petersson: "Aromi" is proper noun; the name of a restaurant.
