Franco Filippone, owner and Chef of Sette Bello Ristorante, started his career in the restaurant business at the side of his father, after the family emigrated from Palermo, Sicily to open their now historic restaurant in upstate New York.
After a long apprenticeship in the family restaurant, Franco relocated to Fort Lauderdale, where he applied his culinary skills at such world class restaurants as The Addison in Boca Raton, Cafe D’ Angelo and the much lauded Casa d’ Angelo in Fort Lauderdale. Now he brings all his many cooking talents to his charming new restaurant, delivering new twists on classic Italian dishes.

“Cooking is all about choosing the finest and the very freshest ingredients, it’s just that simple. ... Fresh not only makes a difference, it is the difference. My passion has always been to create, not only a fine dining experience, but a memorable experience that begins with truly warm and friendly service, comfortable surroundings and ends with a meal that exceeds all your expectations”. Chef Franco Filippone
