Ryan Ratino Biography

Ohio-born Ryan Ratino is an award-winning chef whose cooking style has been influenced by molecular gastronomy, traditional French techniques, and Japanese culinary philosophy. He owns and runs two restaurants in the same building in Washington DC: the neo-Parisian bistro Bresca, which holds a Michelin star, and the Japanese-style, counter tasting restaurant Jont, which boasts two. Building on the success of these ventures, he has opened restaurants in Florida and will expand his empire further with openings in Los Angeles.

Ratino was born in Medina, Ohio and began cooking as a child, recreating the dishes he saw on celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse’s TV show. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando, Florida, he worked at a variety of top restaurants, from Shula’s Steak House at the award-winning Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resort to Bluezoo, where he was rapidly promoted to Executive Chef, earning the restaurant a place in USA Today’s list of 10 Best Foodie Spots in Orlando. A stint at NYC molecular gastronomy restaurant wd~50 heavily influenced him. In 2016, Ratino became Executive Chef at Ripple in Washington DC, where he earned the local Rammy Culinary Rising Star of the Year Award in 2017.
