I am Aldo Mazzaferro, a seasoned restaurant consultant with over 52 years of experience in the restaurant industry. Throughout my career, I have owned and managed various restaurants, gaining invaluable insights and skills. My seven years of cooking experience have also given me a hands-on understanding of kitchen dynamics.

I’ve had the privilege of working at Da Vinci Restaurant from 1972 to 1979, where I honed my skills as a chef. In 1979, I transitioned to the role of Maître D’hôtel, a position I held until 1991. During my time there, I became not only the Maître D’hôtel but also a partner and co-owner, a role I maintained until 1998. In 2001, I took a significant step in my career by opening Restaurant Bis, where I served as both a partner owner and Maître D’hôtel.

Language Proficiency

Fluency in English, French, and Italian allows me to connect with a diverse clientele, while my functional Spanish skills help me engage with an even broader audience. This multilingual ability is particularly useful for creating and writing menus in multiple languages.

My extensive wine knowledge, including wine importation, enables me to help restaurants curate exceptional wine lists. Additionally, my experience with food imports ensures access to the highest quality ingredients. I also specialize in designing menus and have the expertise to craft appealing and diverse selections tailored to each restaurant's unique needs.

With a strong background in bookkeeping, I assist restaurants in maintaining accurate financial records and optimizing budgets. My training skills ensure that restaurant staff are well-prepared to deliver excellent service. As a motivational speaker, I inspire and motivate restaurant owners, managers, and staff to achieve their best.
