My name is Francesco and I am originally from Modena, the city where the famous balsamic vinegar comes from and the region where the famous pasta-making tradition (tortellini, ravioli, and tagliatelle, to name a few) originates.
I am a professional musician and Chef. I started working in restaurants while writing my dissertation and have practically never stopped since.
I have always had a passion for cooking and have always been on a quest for the perfect flavors, the freshest ingredients, and how to balance a recipe or create the perfect menu.
I have always thought that cooking and music are connected, and I have always tried to be creative, respecting the traditions of my motherland, Italy, starting with simple ingredients to create interesting dishes.
I worked in restaurants in the Netherlands, working long shifts as a sous-chef, I had the opportunity to gain experience, certainly one of the most challenging and formative, especially because of the large number of guests, was the restaurant of the ICC (International Criminal Court) in The Hague.
Living in an international environment such as the Netherlands, as I did, gave me the opportunity to learn different cuisines (not just Italian), and also to expand my vocabulary with new ranges of flavors and recipes. This also gave me the opportunity to rediscover Italian cuisine with different eyes and to appreciate its roots.
Now that I live in New York I would like to share with you my experience, knowledge, and passion for food.
I have a long experience as a chef, as mentioned before food and wine is a grade passion for me, I do private dinners, and corporate parties, especially I love wine tastings because I like to develop a specific menu according to the wine the customer is going to taste. I am always open to the client's requests and their needs as long as they relate to the type of cuisine that I propose, I have many menus to propose if you have any doubts or questions please on hesitate to contact me.
Usually, wine is not included in the menu however I will be very happy to take care of it if the client requests it, otherwise, I will provide a list of wines indicated for the type of dinner.
Tipping are not included in the price of the menu.
