Missy Robbins is the chef and owner of Lilia and Misi, two of the most difficult restaurant reservations in New York City, and Misi Pasta, a boutique grocery store.
Missy’s love of great food, entertaining, and high-quality ingredients came at an early age thanks to her mother, who’s an expert hostess. Living in close proximity to New York City, Missy’s family had a fondness for special occasion meals in the city, which exposed her to fine dining experiences and beautiful cuisine.
During her senior year at Georgetown University, a chance meal at Charlie Trotter's on a trip to Chicago changed the course of her life. It was at this moment when she knew she wanted to be in the restaurant industry and become a chef.
Missy went on to culinary school and trained in Italy before working at Spiaggia in Chicago (where she cooked for Madonna!) and later at A Voce in New York, where she maintained Michelin stars throughout her tenure.
In 2016, Missy opened her own restaurant, Lilia, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which was an instant success overnight, with a three-star review from the New York Times, and has remained that way to this day. Missy has since opened a second restaurant, Misi, that focuses primarily on pasta. She also has a new venture called Misi Pasta, a high-quality Italian boutique grocery store, where she also sells her fresh, handmade pasta, that she plans to expand in the coming years.
