About
Since beginning my culinary career in 2009, I have built my experience around fine dining, luxury hospitality, and exceptional private and corporate events. Throughout my career, I have worked with renowned restaurants and hospitality groups internationally, including Ginza Project, Astoria — Rocco Forte Hotels, and Bosco di Ciliegi, as well as restaurants in the United States. My culinary background spans Italian, Japanese, European, and contemporary international cuisine. I have had the privilege of creating private dinners, receptions, and large-scale events for distinguished guests, international executives, and globally recognized brands, including Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Martini, Kaspersky, and Top Cigars. My experience also includes participation in major international events such as the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since 2024, I have been the owner of Petal Restaurant in the Boston area, where my team and I continue to bring fine-dining standards and personalized hospitality to our guests. Today, our culinary services extend far beyond the restaurant. We are trusted to create and cater events for Harvard-related programs, private wine clubs, the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, healthcare organizations, corporate clients, and many other businesses and private hosts throughout Greater Boston. From intimate chef dinners and elegant weddings to corporate receptions, museum events, and large-scale celebrations, every menu is approached individually — with an emphasis on exceptional ingredients, sophisticated presentation, attentive service, and memorable hospitality. For me, catering is not simply about serving food. It is about creating an experience — one that feels personal, elegant, and unforgettable for you and your guests.
