Ryan Depersio has been a long-time friend, mentor, and chef that Chef Robbie has looked up to.

Since his debut, DePersio has made an indelible mark on the New Jersey culinary scene. In July 2003, a then 25-year old DePersio opened his family’s new-Italian restaurant – Montclair’s Fascino – where his concept of ‘Italian without borders’ paired flawlessly with the establishment’s impeccable and attentive service.

Fascino piqued the attention of the region’s most discerning food critics, earning his menu three-star reviews, the highly-coveted New York Times rating of ‘Excellent’ and mention that he was ‘born to run a restaurant.’
