Simone Falco believes there is nothing better than cooking for the ones he loves.
 

Simone’s personal passions include health, wellness, horseback riding, spending time with his son Theo and most importantly cooking for his beloved wife, Katy. These passions inspired him to own a restaurant where he could eat several times a week and still feel as if he was eating at home. When he is not eating at Rossopomodoro, he is cooking delicious, healthy meals at home or exploring the upscale dining scene in New York City.

Simone Falco was born in Naples, Italy on October 27, 1974, into a family of entrepreneurs. When Simone grew older, he become a rugby player and obtained a PhD from the University of Naples Federico II, one of the oldest Universities in Europe. Starting at a young age, Simone worked in the family company to learn the proper skills needed to run a successful restaurant business, leading into the launch and development of several new restaurant locations in Italy and abroad.
