Experience at Old Fashioned Café

I started working at Old Fashioned Café shortly after moving from Italy to the United States. This was the place where I first learned how the American system works, allowing me to adapt quickly to a new professional environment. Here, I’ve had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of mixology, drink creation, preparation techniques, fine dining service, and customer care. I continue to work at Old Fashioned Café to this day, further refining my skills and growing in the field.

Experience at Vescovado

I began my career at the Mochelin starred restaurant Vescovado during summer internships provided by my school. At the end of the internship period, I was offered the opportunity to continue working on a fixed-term basis, marking the start of my professional journey. At Vescovado, I built a solid foundation in the industry, starting as a waiter in the dining room and gradually advancing to the bar. During this time, I honed my skills in drink preparation, gaining a strong understanding of the basics and developing a professional approach to my work. This experience was instrumental in my growth and training in the hospitality industry.
