It was an honor and a pleasure working with the BOCA team to design their flagship stores BOCA and SOTTO. Chef David, Jono and Jeremy all cut their teeth at the Masonette and it was a special moment for them to retake control of that building and a special project for everyone involved. They spared no expense on the Boca build out in particular and their combined experience lead to one of the most uniquely designed kitchens I have ever worked on.

The showpiece of the SOTTO kitchen is the wood burning range, Integrated into a stone hearth this best set off the fire suppression system when they first opened because there was so much heat coming off the grates. Wood smoke is a great way to add another depth of flavor to food product. The eat at bar in front of it gives the guest a prime seat for their Culinary Artistry.
