Andy D'Amico

Andy D’Amico, executive chef for Tour de France restaurants Nice Matin, Nizza, Marseille, and 5 Napkin Burger has been captivating New York diners with his Mediterranean cuisine for over three decades.

In 2003 D’Amico partnered with restaurateur Simon Oren to open Nice Matin. Nice Matin was an instant critical success. Today D’Amico oversees the kitchens and menu development at his restaurants Nice Matin, Marseille, Nizza and 5 Napkin Burger.

D’Amico says his ultimate goal for all his restaurants is to maintain the integrity of the food and offer patrons an honest dining experience with the best tasting food possible. “My greatest food memory is from my trip to Emilia Romana where I experienced an amazing meal cooked by three generations of Italian women in a little farm house,” says D’Amico. “I want to impart that feeling in all my restaurants whether it’s Marseillaise cuisine at Marseille, Ligurian cuisine at Nizza or burgers at 5 Napkin Burger”
