Created all menus and recipes, trained all chefs, sourced suppliers for best quality.

After three and half months of repairs and restructuring, after the hurricane Ian and the very difficult task of finding employees, we finally opened to the public on 20 December 2022.

The restaurant was an immediate success and, by the end of January, we were full every day and overbooked on weekends. All customers claimed that Trattoria Padana was, by far, the best Italian restaurant in the whole region of Fort Myers and Cape Coral, owing to my experience in creating authentic Italian recipes and not the same old Italian-American food.

The restaurant was sold in early August 2023
