Growing up in an Italian/American family from Trenton, NJ, my family has always been extremely passionate about bread, pasta, sauces, and food in general. Taking that and my upbringing from the Philadelphia suburbs I followed in my dads food steps and went to the Culinary Institute of America NY and graduated in 2012. After school I spent the next 5 years working in luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Park City and Cape Cod. In 2019 I moved to Charleston where I worked full time at an exclusive and private country club and worked part time as a sausage maker at a famous bbq spot.   Recently I have called Nashville home, actually Murfreesboro. , Oku in Germantown is why I came to Music City, I was one of the sous chefs there for the last couple of years. While I was part of  Oku our team tied with Jeff Rubys for best upscale restaurant in 2021, and we became Nashville's best sushi bar restaurant from 2019-2022. 

 

I have called many different states home, I have traveled quite extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. I finally got to meet my family in Umbria, Italy in 2019. Where my love of Italian food was intensified. I have picked up the local flavors and culture from all of these places and I want to share these with you. Along with Philly Cheese Steaks you can expect to have handmade mozzarella sticks, southern dishes, gourmet  sides, and other regional tastes from America.
