Episode 16: Stefano Secchi

Stefano Secchi is the chef behind Rezdôra and Massara, two Manhattan restaurants inspired by Italy’s regional cuisines. Born in Texas to a Sardinian father, Secchi spent summers in Italy, where a bowl of tortellini in brodo sparked his path to the kitchen. After training with chefs like Massimo Bottura, he opened Rezdôra in 2019 as a tribute to Emilia Romagna and earned a Michelin star. In 2024, he launched Massara, focused on Campania. 

In our conversation we talked about his experiences growing in the U.S while constantly traveling to Italy,  what he learned from Massimo Bottura, New York City and his advice to young chefs.
