Apprenticing under the supervision of Executive Chef Michael Pierro, Fredy was able to learn and really appreciate the art of cooking and passion of doing so. Today, Fredy’s style of cooking reflects his desire for perfection and for creating the ultimate tasting experience with every dish he prepares.
