Marriage to a Famous Chef

She is a happily married woman, husband Mario Francesco Batali is a well known chef in New York. The couple is blessed with two children, Leo and Benno. They definitely have experienced the most of what marriage has to offer. Their relationship seems to be getting along pretty well with no future signs of a divorce. Thanks to the fortune left behind from her parents, she has had a secure and comfortable life. She is often seen with her husband, supporting him in new projects and social events.

Her husband is a very successful businessman as well as being a great chef. He co-owns restaurants in New York City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Boston, Singapore, Hong Kong, Westport, Connecticut and New Haven, Connecticut. He is known in public by his nickname "Molto Mario". He started his professional cooking career immediately after his college years. At first, he worked for a stromboli restaurant and bar called Stuff Yer Face in New Jersey.

After the stint in New Jersey, he studied in London and took a valuable lesson from Chef Marco Pierre White. Since that time under Chef Marco, Mario has undergone a culinary transformation which prepared him to cut into New York’s Italian cuisine with his own unique style and signature taste. He also served as a sous chef at the Four Seasons Biltmore restaurant. During the early 90s he worked at Italian restaurants like Rocco’s and Pó, both are located in New York City.

Susi also cooks very well but not at the level of her husband. She says that the years spent with her talented husband has been a master cooking class. She was able to observe his process and the secrets of his culinary skills.

In 2016, Batali was invited by US president Barrack Obama to cook for him. Feeling honored by being allowed such an opportunity, Batali could not afford not to tag Susi along. He needed time alone to prepare because he did want to mess up.

Great Team

The love Susi and her husband share is still going strong for many reasons. Since the two enjoy cooking, they spend a lot of time in the kitchen having fun as they cook each other tasty delicacies. Being the celebrity professional chef he is, Susi’s husband taught her the ropes. This fun ritual between the couple is one that is truly adorable and admirable.
