The way i cook
My cooking begins with the ingredients. Inspired by the abundance of fresh produce grown in Todos Santos, seafood sourced from local waters, and meats from nearby farms, I create menus that celebrate the ingredients and seasons of Baja California Sur.
Rooted in my Italian culinary upbringing and shaped by a lifelong appreciation for fresh, produce-forward cooking, my menus draw inspiration from the places I've traveled, studied, and eaten my way through. I also love exploring Mexican cuisine, reinterpreting classic dishes with a thoughtful, contemporary approach.
Rather than specializing in a single cuisine, I let the ingredients, the occasion, and my culinary influences guide each menu. The result is a personal, globally inspired style of cooking that reflects both my culinary background and the remarkable ingredients available in Baja.
My Culinary Journey
With Sicilian roots and a culinary education from the Culinary Institute of America, my approach to food is shaped by both tradition and exploration. Over the years, I've lived and cooked in places as diverse as Hawaii, Asia, Charleston, Santa Fe, and Napa Valley, each offering its own ingredients, techniques, and food culture to learn from. Now, in Todos Santos, these experiences come together in unexpected ways, influencing how I cook, the flavors I pair, and the menus I create.
