Alexandra Stuessi

Chef de Cuisine

Originally from Sun Valley Idaho, Alex moved to Colorado to study Ecology and Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at CU.  She completed her degree while working at Pizzeria Alberico as a line cook beginning in 2021.

She found her love in food through her parents’ cooking. Alex’s father worked as a Chef and in restaurant consulting roles which allowed her the opportunity to meet many influential chefs which furthered her passion. Her mother taught herself to bake at home, and the early memories of cooking together provide the framework for why she loves to cook; cooking has always been a way to bring her family and friends together.  In 2024, she became Chef de Cuisine

Outside of work, Alex enjoys spending her time in the mountains—running, fly fishing, skiing and spending time with her animals. She is passionate about wildlife conservation and spent time working at a wildlife rehabilitation in Boulder as well as at the Shark and Marine Research Institute in Gansbaai, South Africa.
