CHEF MARCO FRANCESCHINIMarco is from Florence and grew up around great Italian food; His father was proprietor of Trattoria Tipica Toscana in Florence from 1957-2008.
Arriving in the U.S. in 1988, Marco brought his skills to the kitchens of such excellent restaurants as Il Giardino in West L.A., Chianti on Melrose Ave., Tutto Mare in Newport Beach, Piatti in Santa Barbara and then opened Pane e Vino in San Francisco before starting his Trattoria Fresco in Ross in 1999. Today he embraces today's new ways of enjoying great food, catering meals for takeaway and offering on-site private chef services for events. In every kitchen, his rule has been "fatto a mano" -- made by hand. "Tomatoes, basil, gnocchi or pizza dough: Each one is different with the season and has to be used accordingly." His first love of cooking? Bechamel sauce; Even as a child he was fascinated with making it perfectly. Look for it in the layers of his lasagna which is featured as a special on the menu during the Fall and Winter months. |
