Meet Chef Joe:
My love for cooking stems from childhood, watching my mom prepare elaborate Sunday dinners in our Italian household and growing up on a farm, where we raised animals and crops for our meals. This upbringing instilled a deep appreciation for food. I honed my skills at Johnson & Wales University, studying Culinary Arts and food service management for 4 years. Afterward, I gained experience at various local restaurants in Southington before spending 11 years at Max Downtown, refining my craft. Now, as the executive chef at Le Mazet in West Hartford, I continue to grow and innovate in this new culinary venture.
“At Le Mazet, we want to give back to the community. Our team at Le Mazet treats everyone who walks in the door like family and we want to give some of that love back into the community.”
