Fai Bravo Hospitality Group are the proud operators of Rezdôra and Massara, two celebrated regional Italian restaurants in New York City. Fai Bravo, which translates to “be good,” is a traditional phrase spoken to kids on their way to school once they get a “little bit older” in Italia. It has gone on to denote the approach we take and is rooted in the belief that great experiences start with great ingredients and great people.  

Founded by Chef Stefano Secchi and Partner David Switzer in 2018, Fai Bravo is committed to creating an environment where their team can thrive and grow, all while delivering unforgettable dining experiences rooted in the culinary traditions of regional Italian cuisine.

Rezdôra celebrates the cuisine of Emilia Romagna and is centered around house-made pasta, a nod to the restaurant’s name which translates to “head of household” in Emila-Romagna dialect. Since opening in 2019, Rezdôra has garnered much acclaim including a three-star New York Times review from restaurant critic Pete Wells, a Michelin Star in 2021, 2022 and 2023, and recognition as one of the 100 Best Restaurants inew York City by The New York Times. The restaurant was also named #7 Best Italian Restaurant in the World by 50 Top Italy in 2023.

Massara, meaning “matriarch” and “head of the household” in the Campanian dialect, is dedicated to the regional cuisine of Campania. The menu is inspired by Chef Stefano’s childhood memories of visiting Southern Italy and the region’s rich abundance of farms and fisheries, all centered around cooking from both a wood-burning oven and grill.
