Chef and restaurateur

Canora started his career working as a line cook at Gramercy Tavern, an American restaurant in New York city.[5] In 1993, he moved to Piccolo Mondo as a chef, developing a small yet devoted following. He subsequently moved to Florence, where he worked at Cibrèo.[6]

Canora returned to US and opened La Cucina, an Italian seasonal restaurant in Edgartown, Massachusetts. La Cucina earned rave reviews and media attention with high-profile guests including Bill Clinton. In 2001, he moved back to his home state of New York and joined Gramercy Tavern as a chef. In 2001, Gramercy Tavern's owner selected Canora to open a new restaurant, Craft, which received three stars from The New York Times. During his time at Craft, he created the menu for Craftbar.[7]

In 2003, Canora launched his own venture, partnering with Paul Grieco to open Hearth Restaurant in Manhattan.[8][9] Canora and the restaurant have won or have been nominated six times for The James Beard Foundation Award.[10] In 2008, Grieco and Canora opened a wine bar, Terroir.[3]
