Chef Ron Romanini

                                    

It’s hard to find any other area Chef with broader training and experience than Ron Romanini. After his 1986 graduation from the Culinary Institute of America, Ron immediately traveled to Japan where he honed his skills for over a year and a half under sushi, washoku, and Master Chefs. He then went to work for the Princess Hotels in Acapulco, Mexico, Arizona and Bermuda where he mastered gourmet Southwestern and Mexican cuisine.

Returning to his hometown, Ron spent several years at Tanglewood Country Club.
Then in 1997 Romanini joined the newly opened Gavi's restaurant in Willoughby. For the next 12 years he brought his extensive background, passion and skills to bear. Gavi’s, specializing in Northern Italian fare, enjoyed the status as one of the premier eateries in Cleveland. Most recently Ron established his own place in Aurora; Romanini’s Restaurant and Bar.
