Tommaso Barletta
Executive Chef/ Owner
Tuscany Restaurant, Rustico Restaurant and Riviera Restaurant & Lounge

Tommaso Barletta was born in the small fisherman village of Monopoli on the southeast coast of Italy. Starting at a young age, Tommaso had always dreamt of excelling within the culinary arts. Inspiration was never in short supply for young Tommaso. His greatest source of inspiration came from his aunt Rita and uncle Giovanni who lived on a farm on the outskirts of his hometown. Young Tommaso enrolled in an Italian Culinary Institute where he began his culinary journey. At fifteen, he trained in an apprenticeship program with French chef Charles Vigny who headed the kitchen at Les Flot Bleu in Provence on France’s south coast and Lake Maggiore near Milan Italy. He then continued on to England and Spain. His sense of adventure and love for travel lead him around the world cooking on cruise ships until in 1980 he finally arrived in Los Angeles where he co-opened Adriano’s in Bel Air followed by Rex Il Ristorante in downtown Los Angeles. In 1983 he opened his own café in Camarillo California until 1987 where he discovered beautiful Westlake Village and opened Tuscany Restaurant now celebrating its 20th anniversary. In 2001, a more casual concept restaurant was born in the foot-hills of Oak Park, which has now come to be known and loved by its faithful neighborhood customers as Rustico Restaurant. After the continuous insistence of clients that the west valley was in dire need of an upscale restaurant, Tommaso fulfilled their wishes and surpassed their dreams by opening Riviera Restaurant and Lounge in Calabasas. Tommaso now entertains a great following and continues to provide further services to the community through his cooking classes at Let’s Get Cooking Culinary Institute and regularly leads food and wine tours throughout Italy.
