Chef Frank Granito

I'm Frank Granito, Chef and Owner of Pasticcio di Granito.  I am a Private Chef, Chef Instructor, and Certified Culinarian.  I specialize in Italian Cuisine and Mediterranean Fusion.

I love being in the kitchen creating fine dining experiences for diners and sharing my passion with others. I believe that good food should be shared with friends. People want an elevated, fine-dining experience in their home but do not have the confidence to prepare it on their own. With my help, that desire is attainable.

My style is what I call “elevated rustic.” My Italian family and Greek in-laws made dishes using simple and fresh ingredients that produced great flavors. It would be served family style - they weren’t into plating and presentation - and no one cared, because the food was just that good! But we all know “we eat with our eyes.” So, I use my family recipes and simple ingredients to present a plate that looks like it came from a fine-dining restaurant, but stays true to the original rustic intent of the dish.

From Anti Pasti to Dolce and everything in between, let me provide you that fine dining experience in the comfort of your own home.
