Chef Tony Marciante
Tony Marciante was born in Milan, Italy to American parents, eventually settling in Bethesda, Maryland in 1973. The multi-cultural surroundings spawned a Chef with ties to many countries around the world. Dinners at home included Italian food, Indian, Seafood and more... but always the family was close and communicative. Breaking bread daily was crucial to the family dynamic.
Tony got into the restaurant business after a vision just after high school and loved the energy, challenges and connectedness of a people & food business. Serving his clients has taken him on many adventures to open 4 different restaurants in his career so far. Relying on his multi-cultural background, Tony’s career has taken him to several states, opening restaurants and leading people to learning more about food every day.
Chef Sonia Marciante
Chef Sonia had been working hard in the restaurant industry over 10 years as Pastry Chef for one of the Premier Steak Restaurant Companies in the Country before jumping in with both feet at Chef Tony's.
Most importantly, she graced Chef Tony by becoming his wife in 2011, and works tirelessly in running the kitchen and maintaining our wonderful food.
She is constantly feeding, nurturing and caring for our restaurant, our employees and our guests.
Please say hi to Sonia when you come to dine, she doesn't LOVE the spotlight, but deserves it 1000%!

Partnering with local farmers as much as possible, my team and I pride ourselves on featuring Great Local Cheeses, Oysters, Coffee, Ice Cream & Vegetables.
While our staff is small, my team and I love being able to support local economies and see them prosper. Make sure to visit our “Local Partners” page to see Company Profiles and more.
Farmers have passion for their industries, as we Chefs do. I recognized the value of working with them early on, and we strive to incorporate more and more local/fresh/organic on our menu.
During a recent Farm tour, I recognized the need for a better communication system, and I'm working with several technology platforms to facilitate easier deliveries and pricing from local farmers. Helping drive revenue to both ends of the food chain will ensure that growth continues, and businesses thrive.
