The kitchen at Vino e Vivo is run by Chef Paul Callahan. Chef Paul is a New Hampshire native and was first introduced to the world of fresh foods and slow cooking when he was a young boy. He spent a great deal of his childhood with his Armenian uncle who had a large garden and a cellar filled with his own canned goods. 
​
Chef Paul started working in a kitchen at age 13, and began learning simple tasks and quickly discovered he had a knack for a variety of skills in the kitchen. He is envied among his peers for his charcuterie skills.  
​
Chef Paul has refined his abilities while working in New England's fine dining scene such as Barbara Lynch's The Butcher Shop, Frank McClelland's L'Espalier, The Herb Lyceum (a 30 seat, communal style dining experience which sources foods from it's own gardens), and No. 8 Kitchen & Spirits which won North Shore Magazine’s ‘best new restaurant’ award. More recently he worked at Ceia and Brine which won several awards during his time there.

As a result of his various Chef positions, Paul has come to believe in the importance of compassionate consumption of food and uses a "farm to table" philosophy. Chef Paul takes great pride in making a connection with guests who taste his cuisine. Paul joined Vino e Vivo in July 2021 and brought a host of new kitchen design and menu ideas. Paul's creative menu and food combinations serve as a wonderful match for Tony's wine selections.
