Meet the Chefs

Executive Chef Roberto Grazioli

Executive Chef, Italian Embassy — Washington DC

Roberto Grazioli

Roberto grew up on a small farm in central Italy, where cooking was not a career — it was survival, tradition, and love. He learned to make pasta before he learned to read, watching his grandmother press flour and eggs into silk-smooth dough on a wooden board worn smooth by generations. That same reverence for simplicity carried him from the Italian countryside to the kitchens of the Italian Embassy in Washington DC, where he has spent years bringing the honest flavors of his homeland to the most distinguished tables in the capital.

Executive Chef and Pasta Master Emy Corsini

Executive Chef & Pasta Master

Emy Corsini

Emy Corsini is a pasta master in the truest sense — a keeper of techniques passed down through Italian families for centuries. Her hands know the difference between a tagliatelle and a pappardelle by feel alone. As an Executive Chef, she has turned the ancient craft of handmade pasta into an art form, teaching students and guests to slow down, connect with their ingredients, and discover that the most extraordinary food is born from the most ordinary things: flour, eggs, time, and care.

"I learned to cook before I learned to read. Every dish begins in a field, and every meal is a memory waiting to be made."
