Executive Chef Berty Richter hopes the restaurant serves as an area where people can “enjoy eating, sharing food, and the excitement of a bountiful and colorful table of delicious food.”
“I grew up in Israel mainly with my mom’s side of the family that came from Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria. We spoke Ladino, a Spanish dialect mixed with French, Italian, Greek, and Turkish,” Richter said. “Large family gatherings and endless feasts were part of our daily lives, and I’ve always dreamt of one day creating a concept that will pay homage to my family’s roots and culture.”
Ladino’s menu features pita, coal-charred eggplant dip, Jerusalem mix, meat dumplings in yogurt, and a traditional Sephardic fish in a zesty egg sauce.
The restaurant is located in the Pearl at 200 E. Grayson St. and reservations are now open.
