In the dining room, she tells stories, listens, creates connections, and attends to every detail. She is the smile that welcomes guests and the hand that brings the experience to a close with both lightness and depth.
In the kitchen, she collaborates with Federico on the restaurant’s pastry creations, bringing technical sensitivity and a contemporary vision.

JREJRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs
San Casciano in Val di Pesa (FI), Italy
Nello is a revived local address in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, re-opened in 2022 by chef JRE Federico Migliori and pastry chef Chiara Zanetti. The dining room keeps the feel of a historic Tuscan restaurant, updated with a modern, intimate look and a service style that stays personal because the owners are on the floor every day. The cooking reads Tuscany through their own lens: rooted in familiar dishes, sharpened by technique, and supported by a cellar from the 1500s. Nello is listed in the Michelin Guide.
