Chef Joe Bonavita
By Made To Taste Culinary Experiences

Chef Bonavita can attribute some of his early successes from his creative culinary experience staging at two of New York City’s iconic dining destinations: Per Se and Le Bernardin, where he built upon his skills after studying culinary management at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. Combining his mornings were spent in the classroom, with afternoons into late nights working at renowned restaurants, chef Bonavita expanded his gastronomical perspective during an apprenticeship at Alinea with legendary chef Grant Achatz and in the modernist kitchens of Moto under Homaro Cantu . It was here he acquired a sense of modern minimalist molecular cuisine. After living in Chicago for a few years, the call to return home was strong for the young chef. He returned to New York City, spending time absorbing knowledge in many of the cities three star Michelin restaurants before he took up residence as executive sous chef at chef Todd English’s flagship restaurant, Olives. After his tenure, he advanced under chef Graham Elliot at Primary Food & Drink.


From one noteworthy kitchen to another, in some of America’s top food cities, to now South Florida. Here Bonavita has led the sweet and savory teams at The Tideline Ocean Resort, STK Steakhouse, based in Miami Beach, and recently The Deck at Island Gardens.
