About

My Story

I'm an Italian-American chef, born and trained in Rome. My cooking is rooted in Italian tradition, bringing authentic flavors from Rome to Seattle and creating unique dining experiences. I work with local vendors to source the freshest seasonal ingredients, ensuring quality in every dish.

I trained at 'A Tavola con lo Chef' culinary institute in Rome, then refined my skills in the kitchens of The American Academy in Rome and Ristorante Pianoalto. These experiences taught me the value of quality ingredients, respect for seasonality, and the art of presentation. Principles I carry from Rome to every service.

Today in Seattle, I bring the passion and authenticity of Roman cuisine directly to your home. Each menu is a personalized journey designed around your preferences, dietary needs, and the occasion. From consultation to final presentation, every detail tells a story. I blend tradition with creative touches to make your experience uniquely yours.
