With over eighteen years of fine dining experience in both restaurants and catering, and as a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Chef Scott Larson has a great passion when it comes to his cooking.  As Scott told us during the interview, "Italian cooking is a strong part of the foundation I work from in many of the other restaurants I've had the pleasure of working for.  I also am half Italian from my mother's side of the family and grew up enjoying and partaking in their amazing cooking.  To say I have a passion for Italian cuisine is an understatement."  Scott worked as Executive Sous Chef for Coco Pazzo in New York, opening Chef for Coco Pazzo in Philadelphia, and Executive Chef for Tir Na Nog  in Philadelphia before he moved to California.
