Chef Lupe joined the Maggiano’s family in 2004, beginning his journey at our Cincinnati location. Every day, Chef Lupe brings his expertise and passion into our kitchen, creating memorable dining experiences for our guests. When it comes to our menu, his favorite dish is a toss-up between our Chicken Frances and Baked Ziti, a reflection of his love for bold flavors and authentic Italian traditions. For Chef Lupe, the best part of working at Maggiano’s is the culture and serving amazing food and wine to our guests, making each day as rewarding as it is delicious.
