Our Chef
Early in his career Chef Roger Martinez worked in some of the finest restaurants in his native city of Barcelona, eventually working with renowned chef Ferran Adria at Talaia Mar and El Bulli. In 2005, he opened his own restaurant, La Mifanera, with his wife Marta, where they specialized in rice from around the world. It was this restaurant that inspired his cookbook, La Cocina del Arroz. Roger and family moved to NYC in 2012, first working with Chef David Bouley before joining Donna at il Buco, where he’s been Executive Chef for the past 10 years. When Donna was introduced to Roger, she knew she had found the chef she was looking for since the early days of il Buco; one who combined the rustic sensibility of Spain with the modern style of the Mediterranean kitchen that has been the hallmark of her restaurants on Bond Street and Great Jones.
