I bring restaurant-level cooking to your table—rooted in classical technique, regional tradition, and thoughtful wine pairings.

Anderson S De Lima

I cook classic, region-driven food with a modern, personal touch.

I’m a former Executive Chef and restaurant co-owner, with experience in TriBeCa (New York City) and the British Virgin Islands, and I trained under Mario Batali, Marcus Samuelsson, and Mark Murphy. My cooking is grounded in classical technique and regional traditions—Italian (Campania, Lazio, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna), French, Spanish (Basque, Andalusian, Catalan), the Mediterranean (including Lebanese, Israeli, and Syrian), and regional Mexican.

I write menus with balance and intention, and I regularly adapt dishes for dietary needs without compromising the integrity of the food. After five years working alongside a master sommelier, I integrate precise wine pairings into the experience. From mise en place to the final plate, I execute every event at a true restaurant level.

For me, cooking is a way to translate centuries of culinary tradition into something immediate and personal—the table is where it lands.

What you can expect when you cook with me

I translate tradition into a personal experience

For me, cooking is a way to translate centuries of culinary tradition into something immediate and personal, and I build each menu so it feels relevant to the moment and right for your table.

My foundation is real and lifelong

I learned to cook in my grandmother’s kitchen long before I ever set foot in a professional one, and that early discipline still guides how I season, balance, and build comfort into refined food.

I lead with restraint and clarity

My secret in the kitchen is restraint—knowing what to leave out is as important as knowing what to put in—so every plate stays focused, intentional, and clean.
