CHEF TEAM

joshua MOORE, ZACH SchLATTER, BRYAN JERNIGaN

Our executive chef team are the best around and have over 25 years of experience in Maya’s kitchen. Their creativity and culinary arts experience elevate our deceptively simple farm to table food inspired by the Southern Kitchen. They are the very definition of what every restaurant strives to achieve…Creativity, Care and Consistency.

TED NORRIS 

Bar Manager

Voted Charlottesville's Best Bartender 7 times over, Ted's sincere and friendly energy is one of Maya's greatest assets.  Ted mixes a great drink and has mastered the junction between old school cocktails and the new mixology. Ted is a local legend (not only for his long flowing hair or 80’s spandex rock band photos) and one of the most beloved restaurant professionals in C’ville. We love him, too!

PETER CASTIGLIONE

OWNER

Peter has been part of the Charlottesville restaurant scene since 1997 and you will likely find him buzzing about shaking hands, handing out hugs and giving thanks to all the wonderful people that keep Maya rolling. Happy People Unite is the philosophy that feeds our restaurant family. Smiles, Hugs, Friends, Great Food & Drinks, Love?

Yes Please!!!!!!!
