Fine Italian cooking served by two chefs - Ian and Eric - in an intimate space.

Ian Rusnak is a talented young chef who has worked in many prominent kitchens in both Chicago and New York City. Ian distinguished himself behind the line at Blackbird, NoMI, Restaurant Marc Forgione, Carbone and ZZ’s Clam Bar. Ian’s experience includes time under Chef Christian Delouvrier, and working in kitchens with accolades such as Michelin Stars, James Beard Awards, and three-star reviews from the Chicago Tribune. As Culinary Director at Hogsalt, Ian worked on product development, branding, project management and operational oversight of multiple units. During his tenure, the group opened two new restaurants, 4 Charles Prime Rib and Bavette’s Steakhouse and Bar. He was previously Director of Back of House Operations for Quality Branded, a New York based restaurant group, focusing on culinary development and lending operational supervision to the group’s restaurants.

Eric Safin is an eminent New York chef, who brings over a decade of high level experience to NA Hospitality. Career highlights include working as a saucier under Jean Georges when he received his famous 4 star New York Times review in 2014, and retaining a Michelin star in 2016 as the Chef of ZZ’s Clam Bar. In 2017 Eric worked with chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi to develop and launch The Pool and The Grill Rooms at the landmarked Seagram Building in Manhattan.
