Chef Jeff

At the heart of Bertucci's is our new Executive Chef, Jeff Tenner.

Chef Tenner brings his passionate approach to nearly one hundred Bertucci's Brick Oven kitchens up and down the east coast.  Focusing on bright flavors and seasonally inspired dishes, he sets the strategy for the menu and develops recipes. His approach to development includes working directly with producers and growers to source high quality ingredients, listening to the passionate feedback from guests and weaving his own personal style into Bertucci's 30 years of Brick Oven experience.

Before joining Bertucci's, Tenner was the Chef and Executive Culinary Director for Legal Sea Foods, a Boston based restaurant company, where he managed daily culinary operations across the company’s three concepts: Legal Sea Foods, Legal C Bar and Legal Test Kitchen in more than 30 restaurants.

Prior to moving to Boston, Tenner left his culinary imprint on the New Hampshire Seacoast, where for seven years he brought traditional bistro fare and Spanish tapas to Portsmouth with his restaurants, Lindbergh’s Crossing and Ciento Tapas Bar, where he received regional and national acclaim for both his food and imagination.
