Casa Cotzelli was born from the passion of two longtime friends, Gabriele Cotza and Filippo Butelli, who grew up in Italy, Gabriele in Milan and Filippo in Florence. Their shared culinary experiences, combined with over 20 years in the restaurant industry in America, inspired them to open a space where guests can create lasting memories over a meal. They want every visit to feel like a gathering at their own family table.
