AARON MENEGHELLI, EXECUTIVE CHEF

Chef Aaron Meneghelli was introduced to the importance of delicious, well-made dishes through his close-knit Italian family. “My grandparents were natural entertainers,” he says. “Everything we would do was centered around a meal. The community that happens around a table, that’s what started to drive my passion for food. It isn’t just about being able to cook something, it is focusing on the entire experience someone will have at my table.”
