Born in North Africa, Executive Chef Rami is truly what one would call the embodiment of the “American Dream”. After leaving his home in Rabat, Morocco, where his love for cooking was instilled at an early age by his mother, Rami decided to come to America and start a career in the culinary field. Having always been eager to learn new techniques, he enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America in New York and developed his passion. He eventually moved to Virginia and continued to educate himself with the help of the numerous cookbooks that he added to his personal library. Rami challenged himself daily by experimenting with new products and recipes. He was always looking for new flavors to incorporate into his modern interpretations of traditional classic food. In 1993 he found a home with the locally based Faccia Luna Restaurant Group. This concept was developed by Joe Corey and Bill Mcfadden, both of whom have played a major role in the chef’s successful career.
