New Executive Chef: Matthew Accarrino

The latest SPQR news: the new executive chef is Matthew Accarrino—he starts this September. He was most recently chef of Craft Los Angeles and an alum of New York’s Per Se and Italy’s Antonello Colonna. The restaurant is due to close on September 14th for renovations (including the addition of banquettes), and when it reopens in late-September, Accarrino’s new SPQR menu will debut.
