Considered one of the top chefs in the country, and recognized for his dedication to quality and craftsmanship, Jonathan Benno’s career spans more than three decades, having worked in some of the world’s finest restaurants.
https://culinaryagents.com/career/timeline/jonathan-benno
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, the spirit of his cuisine has been cultivated through his mentors including John Farnsworth, Michael Mina, Daniel Boulud, Tom Colicchio, and Thomas Keller, who helped shape his philosophy about food and dining, and instill in him the drive to settle for nothing less than excellence. Benno spent six years as the Chef de Cuisine of Per Se, during which time he helped earn the restaurant three Michelin stars and four stars from the New York Times, and was named a Food & Wine Magazine “Best New Chef.” Most recently, Chef Benno spent six years at the helm of Lincoln Center’s Michelin-starred Lincoln Ristorante, where he gained critical acclaim for his contemporary Italian Cuisine.
Recently awarded 3 Stars by the NY Times, Benno is a fine-dining restaurant featuring Mediterranean cuisine. The menu focuses on the area where Italy and France meet at Liguria and Provence, as well as highlights additional regions along the Mediterranean coast. Says Benno, “There may be some spices from Morocco, Espelette pepper from Spain, and wine from Sicily—the beverage program will also explore the unique wines & spirits from these provinces."
The newly restored landmark the Evelyn Hotel, located in New York’s vibrant NoMad neighborhood, is home to BENNO; shared with two other distinct, yet complementary concepts: Leonelli Taberna, a casual Roman trattoria, offering all-day dining; Leonelli Focacceria e Pasticceria, an authentically Italian inspired bakery and café.
Having assembled expert culinary, beverage, and service teams—many of whom are alumni of Per Se and Lincoln Ristorante—these three projects represent the culmination of Chef Benno’s life-long dedication to the hospitality profession.
