The chef behind Bella Vita

A Career Built in Regional Kitchens
Chef Jeff’s career has taken him through fine-dining restaurants, Italian kitchens, private clubs, wedding venues, and high-volume events across Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. That range matters: it brings restaurant-level flavor together with the organization and flexibility a successful event requires.
Today, he brings that experience directly to Bella Vita clients—listening first, building a menu around the occasion, and staying closely involved from planning through service.
Regional experience includes
Vineyard Café, The Davenport Grand, Gozzer Ranch, The Golf Club at Black Rock, Italia Trattoria, Angelo’s, Tony’s by the Lake, and other Spokane–Coeur d’Alene kitchens.
What guides our work
Personal Service. Thoughtful Food.
Every event has a different room, guest list, budget, and purpose. Bella Vita’s role is to make all of those pieces feel considered and cohesive.
