Food & Beverage Specialists
Bob Cioffi (pronounced choffee), owns Bernardo’s Restaurant in Hanson with his wife, Candi. Cioffi, 58, was raised in Jamaica Plain, worked in a number of delicatessens in the Financial District, and bought an existing establishment, Cataldi’s Restaurant and Banquet Facility, in 1985, which he ran for 18 years. For several years after that, he leased out the space, then returned two years ago and renamed the spot Bernardo’s, after his father. He calls Bernardo’s “Italian with a little bit of an international flair.’’ Cioffi now teaches cooking classes two Tuesday nights a month, for which students pay $45. They watch Cioffi prepare a dozen specialties, and then taste. “One day I thought, I’m going to do cooking classes, why don’t I make it a night out? I try to keep it to 20 to 24 students. I want people to be able to ask any question they like.’’ While he cooks, a videographer films him. Students can buy a DVD for $24.95.
Bob Cioffi, 58, hosts cooking classes in the kitchen of his Hanson restaurant, Bernardo’s. “Half of what I cook here is not on my menu,’’ Cioffi says of his classes.
Cooking Class with Chef Bob
Chef's Bob's interactive cooking class is off to a huge success. The classes have been expanded and are held on the 3rd and 4th Tuesdays of each month thru June. Chef Bob conducts his class in the kitchen of Bernardo's and allows everyone to experience the actual preparation, cooking and finishing of multiple food items taking into effect your desire to be creative and practical while preparing your own home cooked meals.
