Earlier this week, word came that Liam LaCivita, chef/partner at Liberty Tavern, Lyon Hall, and Northside Social, would leave his longtime post at the Arlington trio. His replacement: chef Matt Hill, who’ll step in as executive chef starting immediately.
Hill acted as the opening chef de cuisine at Range, and worked closely alongside Bryan Voltaggio before departing in mid-January. Prior to joining the team he spent nine years with the Charlie Palmer Group. Liberty Tavern sous chef Miljohn Dimaano has been promoted to chef de cuisine for the American restaurant. There’s no word yet on where LaCivita will turn up, but we hope to see his cooking soon.
