Daniele Puleo has been in the restaurant business for more than thirty years. He grew up in Sicily, but he knew the US was where he wanted to make his culinary mark. So when he was twenty-two-years-old, he made his way to Scottsdale, AR, where he opened Tiramisu restaurant. After Scottsdale, it was Los Angeles where it wasn’t long before he was hosting Grammy, Oscar, and other celebrity events. He went onto work with Il Pastaio and Eurochow, before he landed in Dallas in 2014 and opened Daniele Osteria.

After six award-winning years, he founded Brix Pizza & Wine. Then he was ready for his ultimate culinary dream – CiboDivino Marketplace in Dallas, which he opened after selling both Osteria and Brix. Puleo partnered with his wife Christina to create “a modern Italian Market where you could find specialty food, memorable wines, and products that would make you want to come back again and again.” The wine is all selected by Puleo and most of the food is from his family recipes.
