Chef Ali was born near the Mediterranean Sea and was inspired by the great seafood off the coast. He attended cooking school in Turkey and then worked for a cruise line where he learned about cuisines from all over the world. Chef Ali later moved to New Jersey and opened a popular Italian restaurant. Drawn to the wonders of fresh Californian ingredients, he then headed west and opened a farm-to-table restaurant in Napa. Chef Ali is now excited to cook with you in the Bay Area!
