q&a with chef tony

Meet Chef Tony, the quiet force behind swanky table, a supper club shaped by instinct, humility, and a lifelong love for food as connection. Drawn to the kitchen young, cooking became his language, a way to explore life, observe people, and communicate without words.

After more than 25 years across diners, fine dining, and everything in between, tony cooks with discipline and intuition in equal measure. recipes are guides, not rules; rhythm comes from music, memory, and mood. Inspired by jazz, his food is improvised, honest, and deeply intentional. Rooted in simple ingredients like olive oil, garlic, and thyme, his dishes carry nostalgia, warmth, and the quiet comfort of coming home, leaving guests not just full, but connected, lingering long after the last bite.
