Meet Valentino and Liza Pagliari!
Valentino’s passion for hospitality grew in the vibrant streets of Florence, where he thrived as a nightclub owner. The food and vibrant atmosphere made Acqua al 2 his favorite place to dine and was thrilled when asked to become a partner of this renowned restaurant.
Liza, originally drawn to Florence for her studies in printmaking, found herself captivated by the city’s rich history and timeless beauty. Over many wonderful years, she immersed herself in creating art while falling in love with Italian cuisine and the conviviality of shared meals.
After living in Florence for six years as a married couple, the city will forever hold a special place in their hearts, but their journey has now led them to the Berkshires. Here, they envision a restaurant that goes beyond just great food—it’s a place where culinary delights meet artistic expression, where friends and families can linger and connect over delicious meals.
Drawing inspiration from their time in Italy, Valentino and Liza aim to recreate the magical ambiance of Florentine dining, where every meal is a special experience. They invite you to join them on this new adventure, where good food and the arts converge to create unforgettable experiences for all who walk through the door.
Come share in the spirit of Florence right here in the Berkshires. Buon appetito!
