Our Chef
30 years of cooking around the world
Armando Risa is the head chef and owner of Villa Armando in Town of Mount Royal. This italien chef traveled from Rome to London, passing by Brazil and Montreal. Today, leading his restaurant, he helps us discover authentic Italian cuisine in a beautiful bicentennial house.
Being the head chef and the owner, M. Risa has no time to spare. If he is not cooking, he is searching for new suppliers, wanting to find the best quality meats and products for his diners. Therefore, even during his break in the afternoon where the restaurant is closed from 15h00 to 17h00, following Italian tradition, this busy man is tending to his business.
After 35 years of cooking, Armando Risa is still passionate about the art of cooking and loves to create each dish. What satisfies him most about his career is when people adore what he is serving them: «When I make a dish, I make as if it were for me», he says. When the client is eating and tells me: “It’s like my mom’s cooking, it’s such a compliment.”
