Chef: Paola Vega
At the helm Rocco's kitchen, Executive Chef Paola oversees menus for in-room dining, catering and special events, private dinners, and BARaka
For Rocco's, Chef Paola has crafted a menu of classic Mediterranean fare with Italian nuances; organic roasted chicken, pan seared brook trout with wild spinach, prime aged New York strip, and wild mushroom risotto. Paola’s sweets are equally impressive, hazelnut chocolate bombe, and sugar and gluten free red velvet cupcakes.
Chef Paola has taken eating local to an entirely new level using only organic garden vegetables. The items include a vast selection of herbs and vegetables, mint, cilantro, haricots verts, radishes, squash, micro greens, and a variety of heirloom tomatoes.
