Chef Alexander Alioto combines forces with Master Sommelier, Nunzio Alioto, to create a fun, approachable dining experience.
​
The Kitchen Table is focused on high-quality, country-style Italian food. The menu is highlighted by fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local purveyors and the delicate, homemade pastas are a must try for any visit to The Kitchen Table.
​
Chef Alexander Alioto brings his expansive experience to his home town of San Rafael. Trained at the California Culinary Institute and abroad in Italy, he perfected his technique at the French Laundry and the Ritz Carlton.

Nunzio Alioto, award-winning Master Sommelier, hand-picks food-friendly wines from around the world that provide exceptional value and variance from the average wine list.

Victor Schwartz, a New York-based wine importer, won a lawsuit against Donald Trump's increased duties, which were deemed illegal because they were not approved by Congress. This victory resonated with other importers as well, such as Lorenzo Scarpone, a native of Abruzzo and founder of Villa Italia in San Francisco, who expressed strong concern about rising duties and the lack of representation of wine importers in the U.S. Scarpone points out how duties and transportation costs are drastically reducing profit margins and complicating imports, especially of Italian wines. Also critical of the excessive use of chemicals in U.S. wines, he points out that wine consumption among Generation X in the U.S. has dropped by 50 percent. His personal story, from emigrant to entrepreneur and philanthropist, includes launching several cultural and charitable initiatives, including in memory of his son Fabio.
