Executive Chef
Steven M Farley
Born and raised in New Jersey, I have always had a love for food. As a lad I was up early, making breakfast for my family on Sunday mornings, and cooking up hot dogs for bingo players at St. Catherine's school in Elizabeth. I remember in the seventh grade, making tomato sauce in front of my classmates for a presentation. I already knew what I wanted to do as a profession.
While attending Johnson & Wales University in Providence RI, I began working in hotel kitchens and local restaurants learning the ins and outs of professional cooking. Many of the basic techniques I learned from my early mentors, I still rely on today.
I began my tenure at Artisan's in March of 1997. Since then, our restaurant and cuisine has evolved into what it is today. A casual, family oriented establishment that offers what is often most difficult to find, home cooked food, made from scratch with thought and passion. Comforting food made from many influences that make up New Jersey. Italian, Greek, Latin, Asian and other creative preparations can be found all over our menu. Utilizing our relationships with the most reputable purveyors in the area, our produce, seafood, and meats are of the highest quality.
I invite you and your family to join us for a memorable meal.
