Tomasso Trattoria in Southborough, MA has hired a new Consulting Executive Chef and Chef de Cuisine. Consulting Executive Chef Bill Bradley was selected based on his award-winning skills and experience in Italian cuisine and sustainability. Chef Bradley spent his apprenticeship under mentor Chef Jean Roger Gibellino at L’Epicure in the Hudson Valley, where he was exposed to the concept of sustainability, helping Gibellino make many meals straight out of his garden.

Chef Bradley also spent time working at a restaurant in Alba, Italy where he was able to hone his old word techniques.
Chef Bradley has won a number of awards, including “Best New Restaurant” from Bon Appétit and Boston Magazine for Bricco Ristorante in Boston’s North End, as well as third place in the Bocuse d’Or, one of the most important culinary competitions in the world. Chef Bradley is also currently working as the Executive Chef at the New England Aquarium. He handles all of these accomplishments with poise.
“I am just thrilled to be able to reconnect with my love of Italian food and wine and to share my knowledge with everyone around me, including the customers,” said Bradley.
Chef Bradley creates all of Tomasso’s weekly menus first-hand, so the restaurant invites everyone to come and taste some of these innovative creations, with changing menus each week. His dishes include a pizza made with scamorza, prosciutto di Parma, fried farm eggs, and arugula, and a crespelle that involves duck confit filled crepes, parsnip puree, radicchio and golden raisin agro dolce.

Michelle Blass obtained the position of Chef de Cuisine and now handles all of the kitchen operations at Tomasso.
“I love the open kitchen setup, because nothing brings me more pleasure than to see the joy that our food brings our customers," said Blass.
A love for cooking and for Tomasso runs in the family, as Chef Blass is married to John Blass, Tomasso’s Sous Chef, and grew up with a chef for a father. Prior to Tomasso, Michelle was Sous Chef at Scarlet Oak Tavern in Hingham, MA.
Tomasso Trattoria's seasonal menu features the finest sustainably and humanely raised ingredients from local farmers and fishermen.
