About me
I began my culinary journey in my family's Italian restaurant, La Boticella, when I was 13 years old. There, I started from the bottom and worked my way up. I learned the in's and outs of the kitchen, and saw how a community became family with delicious food at the helm. After experiencing more than 15 years of restaurant work in Rio and graduating Estacio's Alain Du Case formation cooking school, I decided to move to New York City. I wanted to pursue bigger dreams and challenge my skills working in a larger operation. Once in New York, I worked for Tom Colicchio at Temple Court, a fine dining, large scale and fast-paced setting that expanded my knowledge on the best local ingredients. From there, I took on the role of Executive Chef at Berimbau in the West Village, followed by Ipanema in Midtown. I entered each project as a consultant and Executive Chef. Both gave me an opportunity to curate menus and experiences that fostered a local appreciation for Brazilian flavors. In less than one year, Ipanema was awarded a spot on the Michelin Guide. Each experience allowed me to build connections with talented individuals within NYC's restaurant community. Now, I am looking forward to bringing a unique, restaurant-quality experience to you, or help you create your own restaurant vision -- wherever your community is.
