Just like his brother and father, Mike began working in the restaurant business at an early age. Starting as a busboy at Renato's and then working his way to becoming a waiter at Osteria, Mike enjoyed working within the restaurant and helping his family develop a special business. As the restaurant was successfully operated by his father, mother, and brother, Mike pursued his scholarly interest and began studying at the University of Calgary where he completed a bachelor degree. During this time, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the University of Florence where he learned about his Italian heritage. After gaining experience abroad, Mike pursued his interest in law and business. Completing an MBA at the University of Western and a law degree at the University of Ottawa, he now contributes to the restaurant in his own way, ensuring that Osteria's long-standing reputation of providing superb cuisine and exceptional service, is perserved
