Recently, we just opened up our new modern Italian restaurant, Marzano. We embarked on a trip to Naples, Italy in 2017. We enrolled in a one week course from one of the most revered, legendary pizzaiolas, Enzo Coccia, to understand the tradition and methods behind preparing the dough and working the forno. The course was rewarding and eye opening as we learned a century-old hand stretching dough techniques and simple authentic recipes. In addition to these well-guarded methods, we discovered the beauty of pure, fresh ingredients. The San Marzano tomato is a cornerstone ingredient that the locals take pride in as it is native only to the rich volcanic soil of the area. We were inspired by this and felt we needed to take the same care in selecting our ingredients, hence the name, Marzano as an homage to quality and authenticity.
We welcome you to come check out Nelson’s new restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week.

Photographer/professor
I learned analog photography in my high school years, but in that period of my life I was more driven towards the fine arts, which I practiced for ten years.
Later I continued to chase my passion for visual arts becoming a professional dancer and choreographer then professor at the Hungarian Dance University.
After working and teaching all around the world I had a vision to connect all my experiences in photography again in 2016.
My main disciplines are portraiture, movements and creative works for artists, theatres and companies. As I usually shoot fast moving people, hence the name: Moving Target Photo. I also teach visual communication, composition, posing, lighting and editing techniques.
