Our Story...
Visions
Restaurant is the creation of two
individuals...Tony Marciante and Iddi Diarra
We met almost 9 years ago in another restaurant and realized very quickly
that our love of business and food would be a great match...our friendship cemented
the deal. We have had many elements of "Vision" that have gotten us to this place,
don't hesitate to stop us and ask, we're pretty easy to get along with.
We hope that you can have great meals here, maybe try something new once in a
while, and feel comfortable while you're doing it! We love a good meal, and we
always want our place approachable... we hope you feel the same!

Our Food...
Why
does anyone serve tomatoes in December?
Here's the thing...food tastes better served in season, it's the freshest, right??
If you can deal with no tomatoes in December, we will showcase the best
the market place has to offer, presented simply to accent the natural flavors,
with just enough International flair to give you a different experience.
Our idea forms around an evolving menu that responds to our guests need.

don't need to stop for a sandwich on the way home!

Our Chef Owners
Tony Marciante
I have been a "restaurant guy" for over 20 years, owning restaurants in North Carolina and Maryland. I grew up in Bethesda after moving here from Milan, Italy and just after high school, had a "vision" of me in my restaurant, having a great post shift meal with friends. Working in restaurants around Bethesda and surrounding areas, I have worked in every facet of restaurant operations. Early on in my career, I created and ran several restaurants covering Italian, Asian and Cajun foods. Most recently, I was Executive Chef at McCormick & Schmick's in Bethesda. Growing up with many international friends in Bethesda, continues to drive him to discover cool flavors and textures in food. I believe that great, fresh ingredients can be presented very simply to make incredible food. Let the food speak to it's strengths, and great meals will follow. On his off time, I love technology, my family and a very special lady. I write/design a website called Chef Life (www.cheflifeonline.com) and produce a podcast and other media. You can email me at cheftony@visionsbethesda.com.
Iddi Diarra
I have been an International Judo competitor, a student of business and computing, a world traveler, and now I find myself in my most satisfying role, a business owner and Chef alongside my partner and good friend, Tony. My experience in the kitchens with Tony has led me to my passion of food and business. Working with fresh ingredients and discovering new and interesting flavors, I can always "command" a great meal, and I make sure I have fun while doing it!! I have plans with Tony to expand our company into other ventures, and food will most likely be a part of it. :) With the support of my family both here and in Mali, West Africa, I have only begun to achieve my goals, our plans include eateries in other areas in Maryland. You can email me at chefiddi@visionsbethesda.com.
