Get to know me better
“Professional chef specializing in International and Brazilian cuisine. I blend tradition with modern techniques to create bold, unforgettable flavors
I’m Chef Ernani Jr., a Brazilian chef with 12 years of experience, including 8 years in the United States. Coming from a family of restaurateurs, my passion for cooking has been with me since childhood—blending tradition, technique, and creativity.
I’ve worked as Executive Chef at renowned establishments, including Adega Gaúcha in Orlando, Galeto Brazilian Steakhouse in Chandler, AZ, and Atlanta, GA, and as Executive Chef & CEO at Nonno Cucina in Hyannis, MA.
My expertise lies in International and Brazilian cuisine, always combining classic flavors with contemporary techniques to craft unique and unforgettable dining experiences. For me, cooking is more than just preparing food—it’s about sharing cultures, evoking emotions, and bringing people together through flavors.
