Meet Chef Vesso
At Trattoria Vesso, we aim to make each guest feel as welcome and loved as our Nonna does. Our authentic European-style Italian pizzeria uses only the freshest ingredients and Italian recipes inspired by family and traditions. Everything is prepared in-house, from wood-fired pizzas to our hand-stretched pasta.
Chef Vesso is the hands and heart behind Trattoria Vesso. He draws from over 30 years of experience as a chef and restaurateur worldwide, offering authentic home-style Italian cuisine in Halifax.
His passion for cooking began at a young age in Dubrovnik at his family’s farm and vineyard, where he learned the importance of using quality, farm-to-table ingredients. He went on to work alongside Michelin-starred chefs at some of the world’s finest restaurants in Italy, Switzerland, France, Greece, and Lebanon before coming home to Halifax, the city where his wife was raised.
“The table is the best place in the world to be. At restaurants you don’t just share food, you talk and share your lives. We want everyone who spends time at Trattoria Vesso to feel like they formed connections and are a part of our family.”
