Classic Italian - Modern Attitude
It is with great sadness that we announce we have permanently closed our doors and our final evening was Saturday February 26th.
We wish to thank all those who have been constantly supporting us financially and emotionally over the last five years (especially the last two !) You've become more than customers as we've gotten to know you more personally - we've been very blessed to have such wonderful and caring people in our lives.
Thank you and goodbye.
Chef Giuseppe Di Gennaro
Born in Pozzuoli, Italy, Chef Giuseppe Di Gennaro goes back to his roots to bring traditional comfort food with a modern twist to Calgary with "Cotto".
After working in his homeland at various restaurants, Giuseppe left Italy at age 17 for the bright lights of London, England. Plying his trade, he worked his way up through the ranks in a number of high-end London establishments in the mid to late 80's.
After years of working in Italy, London & Australia, he & his Australian wife settled in Calgary in 1996, & has since become an high-profile member of the City's restaurant scene. His flavourful, visually appealing & contemporary version of Italian food has won him not only critical acclaim, but many fans amongst Calgary restaurant-goers.
