Executive Chef & Owner Anthony Bucco
With a well-earned reputation as a stylish, rigorous chef with a strong point of view, Anthony Bucco has taken up residence at his boutique restaurant Felina, in the Village of Ridgewood. The center of the culinary universe for a young Chef Bucco happened to be the modest kitchen & garden at his grandparents’ home in Matawan, NJ. While Anthony went on to a formal culinary education, his love of ingredients, respect for the farmer, and passion for building flavor started at his childhood dinner table.
