Chef Pino Posteraro
Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill is pleased to give you a fresh perspective on
Mediterranean cooking with Executive Chef and now also restaurateur/owner
Giuseppe Posteraro, known to his many friends as “Pino”.
Fresh as his new style of Italian cooking, he’ll surprise and refresh your taste
buds with “Cucina Naturale” which is his forte. Basically, a classical style of
cooking, “Cucina Naturale” emphasizes the use of fresh ingredients, especially
vegetables. Its lightness of taste is derived from minimizing animal fats and
creams and using low cholesterol olive oils instead. “I respect the nature of
ingredients, hence I try to bring out the natural taste of ingredients,” says
Pino, who uses vegetable puree and a reduction from seafood stocks, to make
sauces without flour.
This award winning restaurant offers a fresh perspective on
Mediterranean cooking with Executive Chef and now also restaurateur/owner
