Greetings!

As so many of you know, I've had a lifelong passion for unique food and 'friendly' fine dining.

After living in Germany for many years working and absorbing the culture and flavors of Europe, I decided to come to the United States... and to bring my knowledge, love and passion for food with me.

After arriving in the Bay Area, I spent over a decade managing restaurants in San Francisco, but my ultimate dream was to have my own where I could bring my vision to life!

15 years ago this dream came true when I purchased Cafe Pro Bono. It's been my mission and my pleasure to have created a warm and welcoming dining experience serving delicious, innovative food... a place where so many come to relax, gather with friends - and to make new ones!

It's an honor to be your host - and I, and the entire staff of Cafe Pro Bono sincerely thank you for including us in your lives!

Buon Appetito!
