What does it truly mean to eat Italian? For me, it’s never just about the food on the plate — it’s about the experience. Gathering around the table, sharing stories, flavors, and laughter with family and friends, is what turns a meal into a memory.

After more than 25 years in professional kitchens, I’ve learned a few simple truths:

- Anyone can cook, but not everyone can create.

- Food isn’t just about feeding people — it’s about expressing artistry, heritage, and life itself, one dish at a time.

My Journey

My story began over two decades ago when I left culinary school and immersed myself in kitchens across Montreal, always searching for more. That search led me to Italy, where I discovered more than technique — I discovered humility, passion, and respect for the craft. Those experiences shaped not only the way I cook, but the way I see the role of a chef: as a storyteller who brings people together through food.

Bistro Amerigo

Since 2010, Bistro Amerigo has been a beloved destination in Montreal for those who crave a genuine Italian dining experience. Every plate reflects the traditions I absorbed in Italy, combined with the creativity and love I’ve nurtured here at home. Our goal has always been the same: to serve food that brings people closer, celebrates Italian culture, and leaves you with lasting memories.
