GrapeRadio with Valentino’s Founder Piero Selvaggio
Running a world class restaurant group takes the execution of an orchestra conductor. Over the years Piero Selvaggio has perfected this into an art form.
His creations, Valentino’s - purveyors of fine Italian cuisine, have evolved into some of the nations top restaurants.
Join us with Piero in discussing his philosophy on the marriage of food and wine. Between 1983-2004 they have received the coveted Wine Spectator “Grand Award” for wine selection and in 2004 their Executive Chef Luciano Pellegrini won the James Beard Foundations top award: “Best Chef in the Southwest”

Great Interview, Food is so important with wine. I am glad to hear that it is growing. Look forward to future interviews.
I had the pleasure of having dinner at the Santa Monica Valentino’s and it was FANTASTIC! Not only does this interview clearly show Piero’s passion for service, but it really does happen in his restaurants!
David, was it crowed at the Santa Monica location?
