Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

My wife and I had a nice dinner at Seasons 52. She had the cedar plank salmon and I had roasted lamb loin. The food was excellent, and was paired with nice wine, although they were out of my favorite. The service was unremarkable. It appeared our server was new to the job and had a limited concept of how to deliver good service. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and will retirn.
