Giuseppe (Joe) Marsico

Chef/Owner

Follow me on Twitter as I eat my way through SoCal and comment on the food, service and setting of each restaurant.

Joe Marsico was born in Calabria, Italia and has pursued his love of cooking since childhood, helping his mother with the family meals. While growing up in Pittsburgh, he worked in both Italian and traditional American restaurants, but his dream has been to spread the word about rustic Italian cuisine. He has traveled extensively throughout Italy educating himself on regional foods and wines and has completed the WSET Level 2 Intermediate Certification in Wine and Spirits. His cooking showcases fresh, quality ingredients in simple yet unique ways, while still

paying homage to traditional recipes. Joe uses that knowledge to teach about the splendors of Italian cuisine and to show how wine and food are an integral part of the dining experience. He sees cooking as a higher calling and enjoys sharing that passion with others. His educational work includes teaching Italian cooking at Laguna Culinary Arts, Villa Cucina, Olivers EVOO and recently at Kitchen in the Canyon in Laguna Beach. He has also hosted 5 Wine Tastings at Coastline Community College, and has done numerous wine tastings and dinner parties in private homes.
