About the Chef
Born in Federacion, Argentina, Norberto’s first experiences in the kitchen were helping his family cook and learning about agriculture on his grandfather’s farm. It was there that Norberto learned about traditional Argentine cuisine as well as the flavors of Italy and Spain. After years of studying chemical engineering and realizing his deep love of food, Norberto decided to trade in the lab for the kitchen. In 2009 he worked for renowned Argentine chef Francis Mallmann at Restaurant Garzon as head chef for four seasons in Pueblo Garzon, Uruguay. In 2013, Norberto moved to the U.S. and oversaw the opening of an Argentine restaurant in Paris, Kentucky, then moved to San Francisco in 2014 to work as sous-chef at Bar Tartine, where he became passionate about natural fermentation and an eastern European style of preserving and cooking. Norberto opened Mettā in March 2017 in Fort Greene. During his time at Mettā, Norberto won a loyal following thanks to his honed technique using all aspects of fire cooking and his attention to sourcing; purchasing local produce at its peak and preserving it to make local ingredients last through the leaner months. In 2019, Norberto opened San Pedro Inn Bar and Restaurant in Red Hook, a neighborhood place with traditional Mexican cuisine. In the summer of 2020 Norberto teamed with his wife Gavin Runzel under the moniker “The Modestos” launching their open-fire events business focusing on local, seasonal produce and ancestral methods of cooking.
