Four years later, Chef Marchesi was persuaded to say arrivederci to the Big Island of Hawaii, and return to Alfredo's of Rome at EPCOT Center. This high volume restaurant flourished once again under his passionate leadership and the quality kitchen standards inherited from his family. His matinee idol good looks and engaging personality landed him multiple appearances on NBC, the Disney Channel, ESPN, and other networks airing chef-driven or food-oriented broadcasts.

Richard Gussoni, owner of Nicola's, personally selected Chef Sascia to be the Executive Chef for Nicola's Legacy from literally hundreds of applicants.
