Food has never been far from the center of Maurizio Crescenzo’s life. The owner and chef at Grano, the Greenwich Village trattoria that draws on Italy’s many regional cuisines, is passionate both about cooking and about sharing the bounty of his kitchen. In the small southern Italian town of Sarno where Maurizio and his six brothers were raised, big meals were an everyday event. He learned young how to season the lamb that was served at Sunday family gatherings, which brought together 20 or 30 relatives, and when to stir the ragu sauce that his mother had left simmering on the stove. From the olives grown on the family farm, he learned to make his own olive oil, and from the grapes, red wine. Rosemary, sage and oregano were among the favored herbs in the Crescenzo household and the fragrance of baking bread wafted through his home most days of the week.
