Carmine trained professionally at Istituto Alberghiero Statale di Pinerolo, and then Chef Marzano served as executive chef for three years at the exclusive Ristorante Giudice in Turin, Italy. He came to the United States to assist the critically acclaimed Chef Roberto Donna with the opening of Galileo, where he served as sous chef for four years. With this passion for Italian cooking in his blood, it’s no surprise that Marzano married a woman with a similar passion for Italian cooking, Deborah Bruzzo – daughter of Corrado Bruzzo, owner of Washington’s Famous Luigi’s restaurant. In 1993, Carmine opened Ristorante Luigino, which he ran for 15 years before returning to the family-owned Luigi’s. He is pleased to have created his newest restaurant, Osteria Marzano, in partnership with his daughter.Elena Pouchelon is pleased to offer more than six decades of combined hospitality experience to their exciting new restaurant.
