When I say that Geranio is a family business, that has two very important meanings to me, that as a part of getting to know us, I am blessed to share. When you choose to come share a meal here, you in your own way are becoming a part of our family, and we welcome you..

I have, and continue to have, the distinct honor of raising my children in the family business which is becoming more and more rare these days. Jack and Jimmy have been coming to Geranio with Dad since they were days from their entry into the world. The boys have spent hours upon hours at Geranio, sitting on a workbench in the kitchen watching, running up and down the stairs, around the dining rooms, and either entertaining or annoying the staff. They are as at home in the restaurant as they are sitting in our living room, and being able to share that with my boys is one of my true blessings in life.quot;.

   Jack has my palate, and began eating olives at about two, and has now shared this with Jimmy, so you will often find them behind the bar with toothpicks poking and sharing olives. Their favorite meal is Angel Hair with Salmon and Creamy Tomato Sauce, which may seem an odd dish for a toddler, but has become as normal as a cheeseburger to the rest of America for us.

   The other equally important layer of our family here are the staff that have also made Geranio their home. Myself included, there is over 100 years of cumulative time working in Geranio for the 13 people who call Geranio home. I could count on one hand the number of days in the past 10 years, that either, Hector or Edgardo and Juan or Miguelle were not here taking care of our customers. Hector and Edgardo, along with Joseph and Alberto are the faces, personalities and professionals that care for our guests from the front door, throughout the meal. Juan and Miguelle, along with Amadeo and Chapin are the engine that is our kitchen and create the food that is the heart and soul of Geranio. They know my food and cooking better than any team I have ever worked with!     Like any family, we have our tiffs, but we have been doing this together for so many years, they are but a ripple on the surface of deep waters. It is my honor and pleasure to be the head of our family, and take great pride in who we are and what we offer to our guests. I am the custodian of all of the families that make their livelihood from the fruits of our communal labor, and as such have to make the big decisions for us. It is with great pride I can also say, the day to day life and work that takes place at Geranio is in the caring and loving hands of the Geranio Family! The family bio would not be complete without Jane and Lucio Bergamin, our adopted Grandparents. Lucio founded Geranio in 1976, and carried the business with the same love and passion for 23 years. In 1998, he passed that responsibility to me, and as proud I am of his history, so he also enjoys the legacy as it continues.
