“A bit secluded in the vibrant neighborhood of Glassell Park, Wife and the Somm is more than just an intimate dining destination: it is a love letter to food, wine, and warm hospitality, brought to life by Owners and Restaurateurs Christy and Chris Lucchese. Their journey from the world of film to the realm of culinary excellence is a testament to their shared passion for bringing people together over exceptional dining experiences. Seamlessly blending seasonal, farm fresh, ingredient-driven cuisine with a thoughtfully curated and ever-evolving wine selection, Wife and the Somm is a hidden gem where guests can savor not just a meal, but a true celebration of flavor, craftsmanship, and connection. With an inviting atmosphere and an unwavering commitment to exceptional service, Christy and Chris have created a space where food and wine lovers alike can gather, explore, and indulge in an unforgettable culinary experience!”

“Wife and the Somm has become a destination for food and wine connoisseurs, offering a dining experience that seamlessly blends craftsmanship, farm fresh seasonality, and brightness. Chris and Christy’s partnership with Chef Frank Saporito is the perfect blend of their visionary leadership and his visionary approach to food, creating a dynamic synergy that elevates every dish. In 2022, the restaurant welcomed Saporito as Sous Chef, and in 2024, he was promoted to Chef de Cuisine. A classically trained French chef with nearly two decades of experience, Saporito immediately connected with Chris and Christy over their shared vision of ingredient-driven cuisine, a hyper-seasonal approach, and the artful balance of acidity. He embraced their commitment to an ever-evolving seasonal menu, allowing Chris to seamlessly pair the perfect wines with each dish.”
