Meet the Scala Osteria senior staff
These are the folks on the floor and in the kitchen making sure your dining experience is one of a kind and deliziosa!
Cristian Corro
General Manager
At the young age of 15, Cristian moved here from San Marcos Arteaga, a little town northwest of Oaxaca, Mexico. Not more than a year later he started work at Bistro Don Giovanni and began growing through the ranks. His industrious approach to his work and his passion for learning took him from busser, to wait staff, to manager, but it is his ability to give each guest a beautifully tailored experience that has cemented him as a fixture in the Napa restaurant scene. Cristian grew up in the restaurant business and has learned from some of the best, making him a singularly effective manager of people and guest experiences. He has been involved in other successful Napa projects, including opening the popular waterfront restaurant, Los Agaves, but his role as General Manager at Scala Osteria marks his return to his original restaurant family and twenty two years with Gio and the team.
Bryce Palmer
Executive Chef
Raised by a family of cooks whose dinners are often hours long events, Chef Bryce Palmer always had a passion for creating delicious food. Chef Bryce began his official culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu College of the Culinary Arts in Sacramento and has worked at some of the best restaurants in the farm-to-fork capital since graduating. His focus has primarily been on new Californian and Italian cuisine so it made sense for him to inch closer to Napa in recent years, with Head Chef roles in Winters and Santa Rosa. Most recently Chef Bryce joined Bistro Don Giovanni where he spent several months working with Gio, Scott, and the rest of the family in preparation of the Scala Osteria opening. In approaching the Scala Osteria menu Bryce took pains to ensure fish were sourced from the best waters in the world, and that the ingredients were simple yet objectively superior. The result is a seafood-centered Southern Italian menu filled with whole fish and elevated Neapolitan street foods; a delicious and unique display.
