About Union Kitchen + Bar, Chef Christie Tenaud and Roberto Colombi Husband and wife team Roberto and Christie came from different backgrounds and two different parts of the world, each with its own unique culinary history. Christie was born in Peru and Roberto in Northern Italy. They met in South Florida and worked together to build the blue at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, one of the best fine dining restaurants in all of South Florida. While they developed their skills independently, they met doing what they love and a “Union” was formed. Eight years and 2 children later, their passion for great food and drinks is evident with their new restaurant, Union Kitchen & Bar. About Chef Manuella Maffezzoli Born in Milan, Italy, Chef Manuela Maffezzoli brings the soul of Northern Italian cuisine to South Florida through a lifetime of culinary dedication and passion. Trained in Italy, her foundation is rooted in tradition, technique, and a deep respect for authentic flavors. Her dishes reflect both elegance and comfort, honoring recipes passed down through generations while elevating them with her personal touch. Throughout her career, Chef Maffezzoli has become known for signature creations such as homemade gnocchi, lobster ravioli, grilled octopus, and traditional desserts like limoncello cake, crème brûlée and panna cotta—each prepared with precision and the finest ingredients. Her journey in the United States began in Michigan, where she and her husband spent several years working in Italian hospitality and family-run restaurants. She later brought her vision to South Florida, where she built a loyal following through a series of successful ventures, including Il Posto and La Perla di Pompano. Today, at Barolo Cucina D'Autore, Chef Maffezzoli continues to share her passion through a menu that celebrates the richness of Northern Italian cuisine. In an intimate and elegant setting, she invites guests to experience the authenticity, warmth, and artistry that define her culinary philosophy.
