Nick Haley

EXECUTIVE CHEF / CO-OWNER

Haley, born in Saskatchewan and raised in Denver, trained in Paris and Piemonte, Italy before settling in Vail. His passion for cooking is rooted in his childhood, cooking rhubarb, strawberries and East European dishes with his mother and grandmother.

In July 2011, Haley became both Zino’s executive chef and co-owner. Before becoming executive chef Haley often states the value of how “Everything else up to that point was practice.” Prior experience defined how he wanted to run the kitchen, treat his staff and, just as importantly, be treated by them. His culinary style, born of his love of Italian cuisine, would now be Zino’s style.

Giuseppe Bosco

GENERAL MANAGER / CO-OWNER

Passion for the art of hospitality defines Zino Ristorante partner and general manager Giuseppe Bosco. His restaurant life began at age 15 in a dish pit while he was in high school in his childhood hometown of Naples, Italy. From there, steppingstones on his arduous career path to Zino included jobs on Mediterranean cruise ships and at the iconic luxury hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

In 1999, Giuseppe crossed the Atlantic after landing a coveted job at L’ Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante in Disney’s Epcot. His westward career path continued to Colorado where, in 2004, Giuseppe joined Campo di Fiori. He spent a short time with the restaurant in Aspen, but settled in Vail as Campo’s general manager where his path crossed Alisha Quinn’s. In 2007, the couple married.

The couple took a leap of faith and joined veteran Vailrestaurateur Kevin Clair when he reopened Zino in June 2010 after a nearly 10 year hiatus.

With partner and talented executive chef, Nick Haley, Giuseppe successfully crafted a warm, hospitable year-round Italian dining experience that has become a favorite of locals and guests.
