On this episode of Hospitality On The Rise, host Alice Cheng is joined by Stefano Secchi, Chef-Owner of Fai Bravo Hospitality and the acclaimed restaurants Rezdôra and Massara. Stefano traces his path from growing up in a restaurant family to sharpening his craft in Italy and ultimately opening his own renowned kitchens in New York. He discusses learning from master chefs, honoring regional Italian traditions, and what it really takes to build a restaurant from the ground up. Along the way, Stefano shares lessons on navigating the New York dining scene—and his perspective on where Italian cuisine in the U.S. is headed next.
