Roberto Paris, the highly regarded wine director and general manager of Il Buco from 1997-2009, will return to the company in September after a thee year hiatus. Paris will take the reins at Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria, training the staff, running the floor, and guiding customers through the wine list. Owner Donna Lennard tells Serious Eats, "People come back to Il Buco for 18 years because there's something inside that's visceral. Roberto provides that visceral element." [Serious Eats]
