Who We Are

We are two hospitality enthusiasts, raised in New York City, with a shared passion for hosting, exceptional cuisine, and creating unforgettable experiences.

Drawing inspiration from his Argentine roots, our chef Andrew transforms cooking into an art of connection. The traditional “asado” - more than just a barbecue - embodies his culinary philosophy of bringing people together through food. With an international upbringing spanning four continents, Andrew is able to craft tasting menus that celebrate both tradition and innovation. 

Elena’s Greek Cypriot and Italian heritage has instilled in her a love for hospitality, curating meaningful gatherings that feel both intimate and unique. For her, hosting isn’t just a passion—it’s a part of who she is. She thoughtfully crafts every Soma detail—from graphic and menu design, to experience production, and decor—to cultivate a seamless atmosphere that immerses guests in an unforgettable experience.

Together, we created Soma to merge our talents and traditions, offering bespoke dining experiences where exceptional food and genuine connection come together at one table.
