Peter Selig, the president of Maverick Restaurant Group, has more than 20 years of experience producing some of San Antonio’s favorite dining establishments, including Maverick Texas Brasserie, Ácenar, and Biga. With the Allora and Arrosta concepts, he intends to redefine the expectation of Italian food in San Antonio, drawing on the diversity of the traditional Italian culinary arts and the modern creativity of New York.

Chef Robbie Nowlin began his culinary career in San Antonio, working under acclaimed chef Jason Dady. During that time, he earned a AAA Four Diamond Award and cooked at The James Beard House. After being named “Best Young Chef,” he took his culinary career to California. He worked in world-renowned kitchens, including The French Laundry in Napa and Otium in downtown LA. Now, he is excited to return home and share his creative flair for coastal Italian cuisine and pasta.
