Proud of her Italian heritage, Angela remains grounded by one paramount principle: quality is synonymous with the simple act of foraging for the freshest ingredients. Angela's talents have grown from experience. She began her journey working in New York City, focused on the customer experience in the front of house, and worked her way into the kitchen where her passions commenced. Her time spent working side by side with some of the most innovative chefs in the country at Michelin restaurants has had the biggest impact on her life. She prides herself on the high standards that were ingrained in her from the start, and holds true with each dish she prepares. 

“I almost never make the same dish twice unless I know it’s bulletproof. It might be the hundredth time that I’m making Bolognese, but I always think ‘how can I make this better? What can I do differently to bring out even more flavor than last time?’ When I try something different, Sometimes it comes out worse, and sometimes it comes out way better. that’s what I love most about cooking. Challenge yourself, and there’s always something to discover. I’m humbled in the fact that I’ll never stop consistently learning and growing.”
