Chef Tina DiSanto - Culinary Director | Social House

Chef Tina DiSanto is the Culinary Director of the Social House overseeing the culinary vision for our club. Chef Tina has chartered her own very unique culinary journey which allows her to think about the Social House dining experience without traditional guardrails. Her passion for the culinary arts is infectious, often telling a story through food.  

Chef Tina’s passion for cooking began when she was just ten years old. Her intrigue came at the hand of a breakfast cook who regularly made her “toad in the hole” at her favorite childhood diner in her Kentucky hometown. That simple dish unleashed a life-long passion for cooking, creating and nourishing others through the love of food.

Chef Tina spent the next several decades experimenting, hosting, creating and eating amazing food all over the world. She studied abroad in Italy for a year, lived in Poland, Chicago, San Francisco and eventually returned to her hometown in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Upon her return to Cincinnati, she attended the Midwest Culinary Institute and is now a Culinary Instructor teaching the next generation of young chefs.  

She has primarily been a private chef, using her talent for good to raise money for local charities. Over the last several years, she has raised nearly $250k to benefit charities in the region by executing deeply meaningful food and wine dinners.  

Chef DiSanto resides in Indian Hill with her husband of 17 years Michael, an attorney. She has two children - Rocco (16) and Luca (13) and her sweet toy goldendoodle pup CC. She loves sports, boat days and cherry tomatoes the most. Her favorite dish to cook is something new.

Chef DiSanto can’t wait to welcome you “home” to Social House with cravable dishes from all over the world served with passion, love and a story.
