Chef Nunzio Patruno
Nunzio Patruno was born and raised in the heart of Italy’s agricultural region of Puglia. He grew up in the town of Castellana Grotte nestled between rambling groves of olive trees and the marina valley 10 minutes from the Adriatic Sea. His culinary education began on his family’s farmstead, Zingarello. The family farm produces olives, cherries, almonds, grapes and a vast variety of fruits and vegetables sold to local cooperatives. From the earth to the kitchen, he got his most inspirational recipes from his mother. Recipes, which use fragrant & robust vegetables, aromatic fruits, fresh cuts of farm raised game and meats and succulent seafood from the Adriatic Sea.
After earning his degree as a culinary chef, his young career took him throughout the resort towns of the Italian Riviera eventually landing him on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea in the French principality of Monaco. Nunzio spent seven years in Monte Carlo and became very well known for his union of French Provence and Italian cuisine savored by the local royalty and jet setters.
Then, in the early 1980’s the United States came calling and he opened his first of five restaurants located throughout the Philadelphia Main Line and the Society Hill section of Philadelphia. The overwhelming successes of the Monte Carlo Living Room Restaurant & Club and Primavera Restaurants earned him many national & international awards of recognition for culinary excellence.Now, more than twenty years later Nunzio comes full circle and looks to a new direction which is Nunzio Ristorante Rustico.
Nunzio’s is that piazza or local restaurant whether in your memories or in your imagination offering flavorful food, llively conversation and gracious service. It’s all Nunzio!
