Filippo Mancuso
Filippo Mancuso's glorious Mediterranean roots come spilling out into Jump's exciting, market fresh world-inspired menu. Using only the best seasonal ingredients, Mancuso creates extraordinary marriages on the plate - nothing contrived or forced.
Inspired by mentor chefs Michael Bonacini, Anthony Walsh, Guillano Bugialli and Marco Della Bona (Stella Doro), Mancuso pushed his experience even further when in 2000 he trained at the side of American Master Chef Michael Romano. That year Romano's restaurant, Union Square Café, won the coveted James Beard Award for Best New York Restaurant. In 2004, Mancuso himself captured Oliver & Bonacini's top prize, awarded to the individual who most relentlessly pursues top quality and kick-ass creativity. Clearly Mancuso's cuisine is every bit as bullish as his discerning Bay Street clientele.
