Born the elder of a pair of twins, Richard’s beginnings are rooted in Waterbury, CT. His restaurant experience came at an early age, starting as a bus boy the day before his 13th birthday on a busy Mother’s Day. Richard’s informal training came through working with his father, Rich Morotto, through three family restaurants in the CT area (respectively Christina’s Room in Waterbury, DiFranco’s in Litchfield, and Bella Luna in Middlebury). This informal training and exposure to the elements fueled the fire and desire to quench his insatiable thirst to learn and to cook. It also instilled an exceptional work ethic as Richard worked his way through the ranks from bus boy to dish washing, vegetable prep, pizza making, and sautéing. By the time Richard and his twin brother were ready to graduate from Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury, it was decidedly so that the best place to really feed the need to learn was one of the most renowned culinary centers in the country. The place was Providence, Rhode Island. The school: Johnson & Wales University.
