John Moore, Owner
John has always had a passion for cooking up a storm, pouring good wine, and entertaining his friends. This passion enabled him to aggressively make a switch from his sales career and open up The Navy Yard Bistro and Wine Bar in his own neighborhood. A line cook stint at Meze in Charlestown and a sous chef position at Bear Creek Mountain Club in Plymouth, VT gave him the necessary experience to work in a commercial kitchen.

John works closely with his Chefs on developing the menu and on most nights you will see John behind the bar playing host to his guests.

John grew up locally in Nahant, MA and has now been a Charlestown resident for 8 years. On his rare days off, he enjoys a competitive round of golf or a retreat up to Killington, VT for skiing and some nightlife.

John has just recently opened his second restaurant, the Downtown Bistro and Wine Bar in Lynn.

Greg Digiovanni, Chef de Cuisine
Greg graduated from the New England Culinary Institute in Montpellier, Vermont and worked at Hemmingway's in Killington, Vermont as an intern. Hemingway's is four star rated from the Mobile Travel Guide and serves modern cuisine based on multi-cultural classics. After graduating, Hemmingway's offered Greg a sous chef position where he attributes most of his training on his way to becoming a top notch chef. His next challenge was to help open the highly acclaimed Jackson House Inn in Woodstock, Vermont. While he was there, the restaurant received a three star rating from Boston Globe's acclaimed food critic Allison Arnett.

Greg grew up in the Boston area and returned home to work for Grill 23 and Maison Robert in Boston. At Maison Robert, Greg learned the classic French cuisine and honed his skills. We are excited to have him at the Navy Yard Bistro where he serves us his delicious meals today.
