Who’s behind brunch this Sunday and your newest favorites at Ulivo?

Meet Nick Perkins. Born and raised in Cherry Hill, Baltimore City, Nick brings his culinary perspective to DC through elevated Italian cooking rooted in craft, hospitality, and community.

He is a first time executive chef shaping a menu that reflects everything that brought him here. Nick often says:

“My time at @dutchcourageginbar always brings me back to the most intimate and personal way of cooking, where food is less about performance and more about connection.”

Leading a kitchen for him means staying close to that feeling and letting it guide every plate. His experience comes from kitchens like @petitecerisedc, @minibarbyjose, @hotelulysses ash—bar, and more, each one shaping the way he builds flavor, balance, and intention as today.

This monthly Sunday brunch is part of that story. We can’t wait to welcome you in this weekend.
