ABOUT

ILNA - a concept that comes via seasoned restaurant industry professional Maz Naba, who is half Lebanese. His latest culinary adventure offers up a unique take on his heritage.

This is a very personal project for Naba, who throughout his career has worked alongside and collaborated with some of San Francisco’s most esteemed Michelin-rated chefs and restaurateurs. His experience includes opening Rich Table as a partner, serving as Director of Operations for Osito, Mr. Jiu’s and Moongate Lounge respectively. He also acted as the Opening Consultant at San Francisco’s fine dining destination Nightbird and modern wine country restaurant and wine destination The Matheson in Healdsburg.

Other stints with San Francisco legacy restaurants include Coi, Nico, and RN74. He was selected as one of Wine Enthusiast's 40 under 40 Tastemakers in 2016, and is currently the owner and winemaker at Augur Wine Co., which draws inspiration from the Mediterranean and Adriatic regions to produce single vineyard California wines.
