Jamie Mammano, Chef / Owner, Teatro and The Columbus Restaurant Group

From the day that Chef Jamie Mammano opened the doors to Mistral in 1997, his biggest culinary venture yet was destined to become a legend of the Boston dining scene. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Jamie established a reputation for himself amongst the country’s most highly-regarded chefs during stints at The Jockey Club and Le Pavillion Restaurant in Washington DC, as the chef for the United States Ambassador to Spain, and 10 years spent in the kitchens of the Four Seasons Hotel Company, where he honed his culinary skills at the company’s Washington DC, Seattle, Chicago and Boston properties. While serving as Executive Chef for the Four Seasons Hotel Boston, Jamie single-handedly catapulted its dining room, Aujourd’hui, to the #1 ranking in the Zagat Survey of Boston Restaurants in 1995, and soon after readers of Boston Magazine chose Aujourd’hui as the #1 restaurant in Boston and Condé Nast Traveler named it the #4 restaurant in the country.
Seeking the next big challenge, Jamie left the Four Seasons, and along with partners Paul Roiff and Seth Greenberg, created the concept for Mistral, a French/Mediterranean bistro in Boston’s South End. Through crafting the menu, hiring the staff, handpicking the tableware, choosing the décor and designing the kitchen, Jamie was able to give life to the restaurant he had always dreamed of and that Boston diners could not wait to frequent. Throughout the past 10 years, Jamie and Mistral have consistently delivered excellent food, exceptional service, and garnered numerous accolades including “Top 25 New Restaurants in America” by Esquire Magazine, “Sexiest Bar” by Food & Wine, and four “Best of Boston” awards from Boston Magazine. Jamie has appeared on NBC’s “Today Show” as well as CNN’s “On the Menu.” In June 1999, Nation’s Restaurant News named Mistral as one of “5 Hottest Restaurants in Boston” and in July of the same year, Jamie was invited to be a guest chef at the famed James Beard House.
Chef Mammano embarked on his second restaurant venture with Mistral partner Paul Roiff in January 2003 with the opening of Teatro, a stylish yet casual Italian-influenced bistro. With Teatro, Jamie and Executive Chef/Partner Robert Jean have created a comfortable dining spot in Boston’s trendy Ladder District, where locals are able to enjoy inspired Italian food and drinks, an open kitchen and playful design. Jamie and Paul followed up their success when Paul made Jamie a partner in The Federalist, now Mooo, a modern steakhouse inside the XV Beacon Hotel in November 2005. Then, the pair opened Sorellina, in January 2006. Offering Executive Chef/Partner Robert Jean’s regional Italian-Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist, a unique wine list focusing on hidden Italian gems, upbeat and sophisticated service, and a warm-modern design intertwined with the glow of a back wall mural and floor-to-ceiling windows, Sorellina is truly a feast for the senses. The latest endeavor, is the opening of L’Andana in Burlington, MA, which focuses on Tuscan style dining. Here, The Columbus Restaurant Group hopes their winning touches will continue to escalate this fine dining location into one of the city’s most popular dinner destinations.

 

Robert Jean, Executive Chef / Partner

Rob Jean always dreamed of being able to open a restaurant, where he could create a vision, bring together a talented staff and ensure a successful operation from the beginning. Prior to joining The Columbus Restaurant Group, Rob gained 15 years worth of experience in the culinary world working in the kitchens of Biba in Boston, The Library in Charleston, South Carolina, the Stonehedge Inn in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts and Aigo Bistro in Concord, Massachusetts. In 2000, Rob was hired by Jamie Mammano to join the team at Mistral where he served as Executive Sous Chef. Three years later, he was given an opportunity to realize his dream of overseeing a restaurant from the ground up when offered the opportunity to help Chef Mammano open Teatro, a rustic Italian neighborhood bistro, as the restaurant’s Executive Chef in January 2003, and Mistral’s Italian-Mediterranean “kid sister” Sorellina, as Executive Chef/Partner in January 2006. Chef Jean’s latest endeavor, is the opening of L’Andana in Burlington, MA, which focuses on Tuscan style dining.
