Chef Aaron Lanois

When I first moved to Saskatoon, I had the chance to join the team at Little Grouse on the Prairie, where I worked under the mentorship of renowned local chef Dale Mackay. During this period, I discovered the significance of precision, creativity, and a commitment to quality in fine dining.

I then took on the challenge of rejuvenating a local Italian restaurant. Despite the initial hurdles and the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant quickly became a symbol of Italian fine dining within the local community, significantly enhancing its reputation and fostering strong customer loyalty. This restaurant was called La Cucina.

Nearly five years later, I decided to move forward and pursue new opportunities in my career. Unfortunately, since my departure, the restaurant has closed. However, with this new outlet, I aim to preserve its legacy.

I specialize in rustic Italian cuisine, offering a variety of handmade pasta, sauces, hearty stews, and rich desserts. With a deep appreciation for traditional flavors and techniques from Italy, I create each dish with fresh ingredients, precision, and care. I am the ideal choice for anyone looking to enjoy an exceptional Italian dining experience at home.
