 Chef Mario DiChiara has been featured in many fine culinary publications as well as appearing in Italian cooking shows on the International Italian Television station RAI. 
In the latest review here is what eatdrink.timeoutny.com had to say about Mario's risotto, just one of Mario's  specialty.
    "The risotto is well worth its 20-minute preparation time. Chef Mario Di Chiara even manages to turn a mixed-vegetable appetizer into something special."
