Denice Grande, Executive Chef
“Her focus has been Italian food for 24 years, with a special love of making pasta from scratch,” says Solare owner Randy Smerik of his long-serving chef, Denice Grande, who is helming this Michelin-rated Liberty Station treasure of authentic Italian cuisine. Since Solare’s opening 12 years ago, Grande has cooked under two great chefs, both born and raised in Italy. “She’s bringing the best of all that together with her own spin,” Smerik says.
