Mike, a third-generation Italian-American, has "put in his time" in the food service industry. As a youngster he washed dishes; in the Air Force he received invaluable food-service training and helped establish an award winning kitchen. Then came graduationfrom the Culinary Institute of America, experience with a three-star restaurant, and tenure with Marriot Hotel Corporation, where he served as a sous chef. When he opened his own restaurant, he applied the same painstaking dedication to developing flawless recipes, perfecting the ultimate product, and building a family restaurant with the reputation for serving quality food, in satisfying portions, at affordable prices. Yes, Mike Paolucci's "overnight success" is the result of years of hard work. But, unquestionably, that's the best kind of success, because it is lasting, built on a solid foundation.
