Meet The Chef
Cooking is second nature for me, it is in my blood and is my passion. My great great grandfather and great grand father were chefs in Italy. Growing up I was fortunate to have my Italian grandmother (nunny) help raise me and I got to watch her in the kitchen everyday. The combination of passion and inspiration has led me to work in the following establishments:
-
Externship at Caesars Palace in Lake Tahoe. Upon graduating 3rd in my class at Pennsylvania culinary, I started out as a line cook at the Sheraton station square. After months of hard work and determination I was promoted to Executive Chef of the restaurant, Pittsburgh Rare, 6 months after opening, won best new restaurant
-
Executive Chef/Food & Beverage Director of the prestigious Pittsburgh Athletic Association
-
Executive Chef of Greensburg Country Club
-
Executive Chef for Nordstrom
-
Executive Sous Chef of St Clair Country Club
-
Chef/Owner of Redwood Cafe
-
Executive Chef of PNC Park-Created dishes that were featured in Food & Wine magazine for Aramark
-
Instructor of culinary arts at CCAC
-
Instructor of cooking classes at Crate on Greentree Rd.
Along side of cooking, educating is a passion of mine. I enjoy sharing a technique or trick that any non-chef can use. My outgoing personality and warm demeanor will make anyone feel comfortable with me in the kitchen as their chef. So welcome me into your home and let me create a memorable experience that you wont forget

Bringing the 5 Star dining experience into your home
We have used Chef Frank to do multiple events for us. One was a birthday party for a family member. Another was an outdoor Octoberfest dinner and a third was a holiday party! Each time he has been very easy to work with. He will help to design a menu and pair it with wine. His food is unbelievable delicious! His crab cakes are better than Monterey Bay Restaurant and his steak melts in your mouth. I highly recommend hiring him for any private event.
Chef Frank makes some of the best food I have ever eaten. Not only is his food delicious, he is also professional and insightful in helping to plan a great evening entertaining friends and family!
He made my girlfriends and I the most incredible Coq Au Vin!!! , I’ve ever had in my life!!! !
