Maestoso to Open and Offer Modern Italian Dining in San Diego in 2018

The restaurant is the project of Chef-Owner Marco Maestoso, who has found success around the world while cooking for names like former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and Donatella Versace.

Having graduated from the prestigious culinary school Gambero Rosso in Rome, Maestoso has worked alongside multiple Michelin starred chefs. While living in New York City in 2013, he was lauded by national media for launching a series of sold out pop-up dinners served in his own small apartment, and in 2015 he opened his first restaurant, Casa Maestoso.

Most recently, Maestoso and partner Dalila Ercolani completed a world tour of their pop-up dinners in San Francisco and Los Angeles before moving to San Diego in 2017.

“I’m excited to open this new restaurant, Maestoso, in such a vibrant area of San Diego, and am looking forward to being able to share our Roman roots with the locals while using my culinary creativity to put San Diego on every foodie’s map,” Maestoso said.

Maestoso’s 2,000-square foot interior will be centrally anchored by an open kitchen where he and fellow chefs will create each night’s fresh fare in view of guests.
