Business owner information

Pietro B.

Business Owner

If you've met the exuberant Pietro, you'll understand why many say he is the "personality" and quintessential host of Osteria la Spiga. He was raised in Cesena, in the beautiful Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, which endowed him with a deep love and appreciation for authentic, high quality Italian food and wine. His upbringing, coupled with his experience in the Italian food industry, has been a vital part of la Spiga's success. When Pietro isn't doting on guests, he can be found assisting Chef Sabrina (his wife and co-founder) with prep work in the kitchen and proudly claims he is the "official taster" for the restaurant.
