Robert, Chef/Owner of Chicho’s, grew up in the kitchen.
When his father, Chicho, opened up his restaurant “Flamboyant” in 1995, Robert didn’t imagine the impact this would have on his life.
He would spend his afternoons and evenings at his father’s side in the kitchen, observing how he cooked, learning his recipes, and witnessing his love of serving others through the food he made.
Everyday, Robert grew more and more passionate about food as his father was.
Fast forward to September 2019, Robert was presented with an opportunity to open a small 750 square foot restaurant on Shippan Avenue and something inside him told him to go for it.
When it came time to pick a name, the answer was immediately clear: He decided to name his restaurant after his father to honor him and all that he taught him over the years.
After 9 months and many, many obstacles, Chicho’s was finally able to open in May 2020, albeit in the middle of a global pandemic. But through the support of the local Stamford community, Chicho’s has been able to keep its doors open and serving food they love!
