The 33-year-old chef and restaurateur has earned Michelin stars and industry cred by constantly striving for excellence and evolution.

Ryan Ratino
Each of the restaurants has a distinct personality and offers a distinct dining experience, from the bistro-style Bresca to the Japanese-inspired tasting menu at JONT and the contemporary seasonal spirit of MAASS. At OMO, Ratino is curating a “choose your own adventure” dinner experience. He is also laser-focused on service, even creating the position of director of hospitality at MAASS to pamper guests with something extra.
Listen as the 33-year-old chef and restaurateur describes how his passionate pursuit of excellence pushes him and his team to constantly evolve and how as he matures, his restaurants mature with him.
