John Paolone has been working as the Executive Chef at Café Firenze since it’s opening in 2007 and Executive Chef of Firenze Osteria since its opening in 2009. As Executive Chef, John is a fan of making everything from the freshest and highest quality ingredients. In doing so, he chooses to import ingredients and products from Italy for the sake of keeping things traditional. Among other things, Chef John specializes is making braised meats in rich sauces that bring out the true flavor of Italy. “My favorite dish by far is the braised veal Shank, the Osso Bucco. Nothing says Italy better than a 5-hour braised veal shank,” says John.
