Marisa May

Born and raised in New York City, restaurateur Marisa May spent her summers on the coast of Naples, Amalfi, the island of Capri and throughout Italy, learning firsthand about the hospitality and cuisine of Italy. Upon graduating from New York University (NYU), Marisa took on a full-time role at her father Tony May’s San Domenico NY restaurant, where she worked for fifteen years and learned the restaurant business from the ground up. While she spent time in the kitchen helping to make the bread and pasta, she loved directing the front of the house, where she felt she truly belonged. Her warm, welcoming personality and charm were known as the secret behind the service and ambiance in San Domenico NY’s dining room.
