Chef Pasquale Stallone continues the tradition of blending arts, culture, and food in Sarasota County, inspired by the historical performances at the homes of John and Mable Ringling. Today, places like Mattison’s at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and the Selby House Café reflect this legacy. In Venice, Stallone's Art Caffe inside the Venice Art Center combines his culinary skills with artistic presentation. Originally from Apulia, Italy, Stallone's journey included culinary school in Milan, working in Costa Rica and Miami, and learning Asian cuisine from Robert DeNiro's personal chef. At Art Caffe, he meticulously crafts dishes, emphasizing harmony and balance, akin to a symphony or a classic painting, ensuring each dish is a work of art.
