About the restaurant

Since 2009, The Chef’s Table has been a destination for authentic fine Italian cuisine, paired with warm, professional service.

In 2019, owner Carra Crehan welcomed Executive Chef Paolo Ferretti from Senigallia, Italy; under an O-1 visa, granted only to individuals with extraordinary ability. His culinary artistry is evident in every dish.

With 52 seats inside & 20 seats on the covered patio, our intimate space blends understated elegance with a sense of home. In the heart of our main dining room is a beloved family heirloom: a large table that seats six, inviting guests to gather, connect, and savor each moment.

With an extensive wine list, ala carte dining, multiple Preset & Tasting Menus, The Chef's Table is not to be missed.

We saved you a seat, and look forward to seeing you.

About the restaurant

Michelina’s Italian Restaurant & Catering has been serving guests around the Treasure Coast for over 20 years. We take pride in making all of our dishes & desserts from scratch, exactly the way our grandmother used to.

Chef Michele Jones is a 3rd generation restauranteur and takes great pride in her dishes. She grew up in her family’s restaurant and followed in her parents and grandparent’s footsteps. Now, her children work alongside her in the restaurant, primed and ready to follow in their parent’s steps.

Michele’s business success has been balanced with a rich family life and a very generous community spirit. Active in her children’s school and sporting events, she lends out her free time to the community when she’s able, and enjoys all of what the Treasure Coast has to offer.
