Ryan Ratino
Restaurateur and ChefWith a diverse set of skills and a passion for cooking built in lauded restaurants across the country, Chef Ratino is one of the youngest chefs in America to hold a two-Michelin-starred restaurant and two Michelin-awarded concepts under the same roof – the one-Michelin-starred Bresca and two-Michelin-starred JÔNT in Washington, DC.
“We have a great respect for South Florida’s hospitality culture and are honoured to join the community amongst the many talented chefs we have come to call friends over the past few years. With MAASS, we hope to bring something inspired and well curated to the market to showcase the collaborative efforts of detail-oriented individuals.”
