Marcelo Pineda, Executive Sous Chef

Chef Marcelo moved to Boston in 1998 from Medellin, Columbia.  He began working in restaurant kitchens upon his arrival and worked hard learning from some of the best at Boston’s finest restaurants.  The chefs he worked for, recognized his potential and began mentoring him in supervisor and sous chef positions. One of those chefs was our own, Chef Mario Capone, who subsequently made Chef Marcelo the Executive Sous Chef of The Bancroft, leading the culinary team on day-to-day operations.  When Chef Marcelo isn’t in the restaurant he enjoys gardening and cooking traditional Columbian food for his wife and family.
