Our Story
Founded by Sergio Moutela and Chef Robert Santello, TASCA is more than just a restaurant—it's a labor of love, born from a shared passion for bringing the rich culinary heritage of Iberian ingredients to life in a fresh and exciting way.
​
Chef Rob Santello is a visionary in the kitchen. Hailing from Heirloom Kitchen, HK St Laurent & Alta NYC, he brings years of experience and a deep understanding of flavors to every dish he creates in true artistic form, elevating familiar Iberian ingredients to new heights.
​
Sergio Moutela, previously of Melovino Meadery, and now Executive Chef & owner of Torino in Metuchen, was brought up in a Portuguese household which comes with being immersed in a love for food and its culture. His talent and creativity in his craft has won him awards in local and international levels.
Our Vision
What if we reset the clock on traditional dishes?
What other direction could our predecessors have taken using the same ingredients?
This exploration is what we mean by reimagined Iberian cuisine.
This, is Tasca.
