Darren Pusateri
Executive Chef
Darren realized his passion for cooking at an early age when he would cook with his father and go to fine dining restaurants with his family. In 2001, Darren graduated from the Florida Culinary Institute with an Associates in Culinary Arts and then from Lynn University in 2003 with a Bachelors in Hospitality Administration, with a concentration in restaurant and hotel management. Upon graduating, Darren moved to New York City to work as a line cook under the world-renowned Chef Daniel Boulud at Café Boulud, DB Bistro, and Feasts & Fêtes catering.
Prior to joining the Barcelona family, Darren spent the last 10 years in Colorado building his culinary career—working his way up the ranks from Chef Tournant at Frasca Food and Wine, to Executive Chef of notable Denver restaurants such as TAG, Guard and Grace, and the Squeaky Bean.
