While some fine dining experiences come with a side of pretension, Mark D’Alessandro, Director of Operations of the renowned Columbus Hospitality Group (CHG), sets a table that is exquisite and exceptional while remaining approachable. Mistral can be credited for being one of the preeminent restaurants that ushered in Boston’s burgeoning dining scene in the 1990s. A testament to its success, the CHG has grown to include Sorellina, three Mooo locations, XV Beacon Hotel, the Inn at St. Botolph, and Ostra – which received a five-star rating from the Boston Globe. Mark D’Alessandro shares his thoughts on how technology is (and is not) useful in restaurants and words of wisdom from decades in the business.
The “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration.
