Daniele Kucera, Proprietor

Most of Daniele’s fondest memories of childhood involve his grandmother and food. As he grew older, he discovered that his interest in food was matched by his love of languages and meeting new people. At University, Daniele enrolled in a program that combined the disciplines of hospitality, cooking and languages and eventually settled in Verona after graduation. Here he found a job in a family-run hotel and learned the business from the ground up. Three years later he was hired as a director for an upscale hotel with two restaurants on the stylish Venetian coastline.

In 1992, Daniele relocated to New York City working as a manager and Maitre d for Tony May at the newly opened San Domenico restaurant. Here he met Franco Lazzari and formed a fast friendship and started developing plans for their future restaurant. After five years, Daniele began work as a food and beverage coordinator for a convention planner. Upon returning to New York after extensive traveling, he reunited with Franco who had begun working at the newly opened Jean Georges. Daniele gained invaluable experience when he joined the team at Jean Georges and also finalized plans with Franco for their new restaurant, bringing in Chef Stefano Terzi as a third partner.

At ViceVersa, opened in 1999, Daniele, Franco and Stefano unveiled their vision for a contemporary Italian restaurant, combining the traditions of their own cultural background with the youth and energy of their years and the sophistication and experience of their time spent in major New York restaurants. With the opening of Etcetera Etcetera this past year, Daniele, Franco and Stefano bring to the Theater District a cool looking, warm feeling restaurant that offers a young fresh look at Italian cuisine.

Franco Lazzari, Proprietor

While studying economics at the University of Bologna, Franco Lazzari found a job as a waiter at San Domenico of Imola. This experience grew into a full-time position for the following six years in which Franco acted as captain and sommelier, forming his managerial skills and knowledge of Italian wines. He then became co-owner of Pappagallo, one of Italy’s most celebrated restaurants. In 1988, the opportunity arose to open a “sister” restaurant of San Domenico in New York City. It was at this Central Park South establishment that Franco met future business partners Daniele Kucera and Stefano Turzi. In 1997, Franco joined the team that opened Jean Georges and used the next two years to finalize the details of his own project.

Stefano Terzi, Executive Chef and Proprietor

With a mother who was a cook by trade, Stefano Terzi learned to appreciate food at a young age. Stefano enrolled at the three-year culinary school, Instituto Alberghiero in San Pellegrino. When he graduated in 1986, he was prepared for work at Novara and Milano after having gained experience while working during college. Stefano joined the Michelin-rated Locanda Dell’Angelo in 1990 as sous chef under Pierangelo Cornaro. Upon moving to the United States, Stefano began working as sous chef at Il Cielo in Beverly Hills. After relocating to New York City, Stefano polished his techniques at San Domenico where he met and became friends with Franco Lazzari and Daniele Kucera. The three discovered they shared a similar culinary vision when it came to their philosophies on restaurants and began work on pursuing their mutual dream.

At ViceVersa, Stefano created a menu that features contemporary Italian food with a fresh and light approach, while still remaining true to the flavors of the traditional cuisine. At Etcetera Etcetera, Stefano presents a fresh and young interpretation of Italian cuisine with a light Mediterranean accent.
