Alex Feltovich
Proprietor & FOH Operations Manager
Alex has had a culinary and service and hospitality career journey that has brought him to the mountains and back to Pittsburgh’s Northside. After a 17-year tenure at St. Clair Country Club, he lived and worked producing organic plants and proteins on a sustainable hog farm in Oregon. His front-of-house credits include Six Penn Kitchen, Spork, and Cioppino, and most recently as Proprietor and Front-of-House Operations Manager at Fig & Ash.
