Explore Northern Italian Cuisine at Chef's Table with Pizza Rustica

If you’re looking for authentic Northern Italian cooking, look no further than Pizza Rustica. Chef Stefano Roman and his wife Juliana Montebello-Roman opened the restaurant in 2005, and they bring their Venetian roots with them.

“The menu is on par with trattorias in Italy, featuring fresh ingredients in a warm, inviting atmosphere. In addition to the unique and daring pizza with a layered, crunchy crust, Stefano’s seasonal nightly ‘blackboard’ specials include a variety of inspired, authentic dishes.”

Our next Chef’s Table event will focus on those inspired and authentic dishes. Just take a look at what guests will enjoy during this exclusive, intimate evening:
