Dario Schicke was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and left during the war in the 1990s, settling in Germany, where he worked in various Italian restaurants. That’s where he met his wife and business partner, Amy, a Nebraska native. They were married in Germany in 1995 before moving to New York, where they opened a Greek-style deli. That eventually led Schicke to advance his skills at the French Culinary Institute in New York.
