ABOUT CHEF AL

Chef Al’s culinary mission began when his parents, Peter and Joanne served the freshest clams, clam cakes, and chowders that Narragansett Bay had to offer. Experiencing their passions accompanied by fresh, delicious seafood only inspired him to chase his dreams of being an exceptional chef. For 20 years, Chef Al was a seafood buyer for a chain of restaurants from New Hampshire to Maine, which structured his knowledge for top-quality seafood. He has built relationships with fishermen all over New England, guiding him in creating some of the most exquisite seafood dishes. Located on the Bristol harbor, is where Chef Albert’s family created Quito’s. When he took ownership of the restaurant, Chef Al modeled Quito’s in resemblance to his parent’s traditions, recipes, and pure love for seafood. Five decades later, as the original 1954 Quito’s Restaurant menu hangs on the wall, he develops his culinary creations, all growing from his love for quality seafood.
