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.

"My wife and I had the pleasure of attending a private dinner party in Rehoboth. Our party of ten was treated to a wonderful first course of caprese bruschetta, followed by a delicious dinner featuring chicken cacciatore over homemade pasta with a side of glazed carrots. Chef Frank was gracious in offering seconds to the group -- I doubt there were any leftovers. Dinner was followed by a delicious serving of a chocolate torte with a whipped mascarpone. The praise was universal from the entire group - everything was prepared thoughtfully, tasted amazing and wanting to have Chef Frank plan our next event."

Everybody had an awesome time preparing an appetizer, entree, and dessert with Chef Frank. Everything we prepared was delicious. Chef Frank instructed/guided everyone throughout the whole event and even provided us with some history about the cooking techniques. Chef additionally provided us with copies of the recipes so that we can make the items again in the future. We would highly recommend Chef Frank! Thank you again Chef Frank."
