Three months after Justin Smillie's departure from Il Buco Alimentari, the restaurant has signed on Barcelona native Roger Martinez to replace him. Martinez has cooked at several well-reputed restaurants in Spain, and most recently at Bouley, but it sounds like that won't translate to a more Spanish-leaning menu at Il Buco. A press release promises he will continue cooking the Italian food already known and loved there. [EaterWire]
