LITTLE ITALY
Since the day Juniper & Ivy restaurant opened in Little Italy in March 2014, Anthony Wells has been a presence in the kitchen, climbing the culinary ladder from sous chef to chef de cuisine to the top job of executive chef 4 1/2 years ago.
Now, the 34-year-old chef says he’s ready for a change. Last month, Wells told Juniper owner Mike Rosen he plans to leave on the restaurant’s eighth anniversary: March 2, 2022. To prepare for that, Rosen has hired a national search firm to find the next chef for the Michelin Bib Gourmand-honored 150-seat restaurant.
