About Charles Draghi

Charles Draghi, chef/owner of Erbaluce restaurant in Boston, creates dishes influenced by his Italian-French culinary background and classical training. Inspired by local produce from farmers' markets and his own herb garden, he treats presentation as a collaborative art form, from the food to the wine lists and even his own plays that are read in the restaurant. Erbaluce is located on the edge of the Theatre District, so it's only fitting that Charles is also an accomplished playwright.
