Alain Allegretti hails from a prominent culinary background developed in kitchens across France and the United States. His cooking style pairs cultural influences from his home city of Nice with the guidance culled from famed chefs including Jacques Maximin and Alain Ducasse. Allegretti’s career stretches from helming the kitchen at legendary restaurants like the Ritz Carlton's Atelier to his own eponymous New York City restaurant. Allegretti’s most recent project is La Promenade des Anglais in Chelsea, a relaxed neighborhood restaurant that has allowed him to strip away the high end white tablecloths and have fun with his cooking. The flavors at La Promenade des Anglais are derived from the French Riviera, of which Allegretti digs deep into inspirations ranging from Italy, Spain, and North Africa.
