    Founding chef Christian Petroni departs Fortina

    Christian Petroni, the founding chef and owner who built the Fortina restaurant group (including the Stamford location at 120 Washington Blvd), announced on November 27, 2020 via Fortina's Facebook page that he was stepping away from the brand after nearly nine years. He said he wanted to focus independently on his own cooking, media, and food projects; co-food directors Paul Failla and Jared Falco took over culinary direction and later introduced menu changes.

    Why this matters: Reviews praising Fortina's food or 'Chef Petroni's cooking' from before late 2020 refer to a kitchen no longer led by its founding chef, since day-to-day culinary direction passed to a new team afterward.
