Meet the Founders
District Eight Hospitality was created by a chef and an operator who believe great hospitality is both an art and a strategy.
Chef Maurio brings years of culinary expertise, developing chef-driven menus and kitchen operations that deliver quality, creativity, and consistency.
Marisa brings more than two decades of experience in hospitality, branding, marketing, and restaurant operations — helping businesses build stronger concepts, unforgettable guest experiences, and profitable programming.
Together, we created District Eight to partner with restaurants, hotels, and hospitality brands looking to evolve, reset, or grow.
From restaurant turnarounds to menu development, beverage programs, catering, and experiential events, our goal is simple:
Create hospitality concepts that attract guests, generate revenue, and leave a lasting impression.
DM for consulting, collaborations, and catering inquiries.
