About Gianluca
Gianluca Legrottaglie is a Californian restaurateur with Roman roots.
He worked for his whole life in the restaurant industry, starting his professional career at Il Buco restaurant in NYC in early ’99. He moved to San Francisco in 2010 and joined the newly opened Italian restaurant 54 Mint. His passion for wine, food, and his motherland fueled his dream of starting his own concept of authentic Italian traditions. Finally, in 2015, he opened Montesacro Pinseria Romana, the first Pinseria in the US. Its first location was established in San Francisco followed by Portland and New York in 2019.
About Chef Mattia
Growing up in Rome, Chef Mattia Marcelli developed his passion for food at a very young age, learning recipes and techniques of the Roman traditions from the women of his family. He entered culinary school at the age of 13 and moved to New York when he was 19, cooking for the acclaimed Italian restaurants Aurora in Brooklyn and Emporio in New York City. After a brief return to Rome, he made the Bay Area his home in 2012, and ever since, he has been the executive chef of 54 Mint in San Francisco. He is considered one of San Francisco’s youngest most promising chefs.
