Created by internationally recognized chef/owner Marco Maestoso and his partner, Dalila Ercolani, Maestoso will open in April. In 2015, the pair opened their first restaurant, Ristorante Casa Maestoso, in Rome, Italy. Maestoso has trained with Michelin-star chefs and studied at Gambero Rosso, the globally recognized culinary school in Rome, Italy.
