Pelago – Chicago- USA

Chef Mauro Mafrici and his wife, Architect Kimberly Anguil Mafrici help their guests experience Italian food and dining in a whole new way. Their newest venture, PELAGO, redefines up-scale Italian dining with a focus on homemade pastas and seafood. For every guest, Italian cuisine will be redefined. The traditions of Italian cooking from the North to the South of Italy have been translated with a local twist and modern cooking flair to create a contemporary menu for an outstanding culinary journey.

Mauro Mafrici is a Michelin starred Italian chef who has worked in some of the greatest international kitchens and luxury resort hotels of the world. His long resume of prestigious experiences in revered establishments culminated in the opening of his own critically acclaimed restaurant, Lo Scalco, in New York City which earned a coveted Michelin star in its first year open. Mauro has now brought his talents to Chicago with PELAGO.

The basis of Mauro’s cuisine is “Sapori Veri’: true, honest, genuine flavors used masterfully to create new sensations, forms, and colors. Fresh seasonal ingredients from Italian and local sources will tantalize every taste bud as Mauro allows each bite to speak for itself in a clean, straightforward flavorful vocabulary. With each endeavor, Mauro continues to look for new ways to incorporate regional Italian ingredients as he redefines Italian cooking.
