Executive Chef Arianna Stefanilo
Maine chef Arianna Stefanilo has been a regular on the Portland restaurant scene for the last eight years. She was an executive chef at Blyth & Burrows and Novare Res Bier Café, and a pastry chef at Becky’s Diner. Raised in a large Italian-Irish family, Stefanilo learned to bake pastries with her Irish grandmother and was inspired to cook by her Sicilian father. Stefanilo grew up on Chebeague Island and spent many years lobstering and fishing off the Maine coast. Her love of the sea has left a lasting impact on her culinary point of view.
“My passion is to work with local Maine fisherman, farmers, and purveyors to create simple yet flavorful dishes.”

She recommends a new store called The Maker’s Galley, opening on Commercial Street, that will offer Maine-made products, maker workshops and culinary demos by local chefs.
