Overflowing with food and family, Chef David DiGregorio’s Italian heritage inspired him to become a chef, after studying at Johnson & Wales University and apprenticing at the Mobil four–star Swiss Chalet Restaurant.
For 30 years, his genuine, passionate approach to Italian cuisine has earned him industry recognition and numerous accolades. Founded on his travels throughout Italy, Osteria Via Stato, a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, follows the Italian tradition of seasonally prepared dishes featuring local ingredients and paired with an all-Italian wine list. In 2007, he opened Pizzeria Via Stato. Nestled within Osteria Via Stato, the cozy, Roman pizzeria extends the restaurant’s warm, affable hospitality.
