From personal experience, Philippe Padovani struts with some of the best culinary talent and biggest ego around. From word of mouth, Donato Loperfido has an attitude of his own. Now, Monsieur and Signore will be combining their French & Italian expertise to open small plate-centric Elua (Hawaiian for "two) at a time not yet fully determined. Both chefs have shuttered their original restaurants, but I hope this new venture will be successful.
