As chefs we are extremely honored to have as our medium these amazing products we call food that are produced not by humans but by the earth herself. It is impossible for us to escape the awe of their simple perfection and beauty. At our restaurant, we have adopted Patrona as the symbol for this great force of nature and spirit that guides us. "Patrona", in both Spanish and Italian, literally means Patron Saint. Colloquially, it refers to the female visionary leader who provides the environment, means and spirit for artists, craftspeople and professionals to flourish. The earth is certainly the ultimate Patrona. We are privileged to work for her.

The mission of Patrona is to create a sustainable business that benefits the people with whom we work, supports the communities in which we do business, protects and sustains the environment and achieves economic prosperity. We aspire to honor, embody and reflect the grace, beauty and generosity of the earth and let her spirit guide us in each decision that we make and action that we take.
