Villa Afternoon Chef
Maurizio Paparo, Chef
Excelsior Inn and Ristorante
 Maurizio Paparo was born in Naples, Italy. Before moving to the U.S. he trained at the Instituto Tecnico para Turismo hospitality school in Florence, Italy. Since then he has worked in the restaurant industry for over 35 years, sharing his enthusiasm for food in Hawaii, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eugene, Oregon. His passion for high quality food and beautiful things led him to purchase the Excelsior Café in 1993. Extensive renovations began in the historic building in 1995, which created a 14 room, European-style bed and breakfast. The Excelsior Restaurant is renowned not only for its friendly, elegant, and charming atmosphere, but also for its meticulously prepared authentic Italian cuisine.
