Who We Are: Marcus & Jamie Guiliano 
​
At Aroma Thyme Bistro, food isn’t just plated — it’s presented with purpose. And behind that mission? That’s us — Marcus and Jamie Guiliano — husband and wife, partners in life and business, and passionate believers in food that truly means something.

We haven’t spent the last two decades cooking the expected. We’ve been redefining what it means to dine with integrity.

We’ve traveled the world — not as tourists, but as seekers. We’ve personally visited over 350 wineries, countless distilleries, breweries, and farms, forging relationships with the artisans who still do things the old way: with soul, patience, and pride. From a quinoa farm in Colorado, to the balsamic attics of Modena, to the hillsides of Parma where prosciutto is cured the traditional way, to the small family farms right here in the Hudson Valley, we’ve hand-selected the stories — and ingredients — that show up on your plate and in your glass.
This isn’t “farm-to-table” as a trend.

This is farm-to-fork with intention.

Marcus brings the fire — a chef, food activist, and truth-teller who’s been honored as one of the Top 5 Food Activists Making a Difference for exposing industry myths and fighting for real transparency in the food world. Jamie brings the heartbeat — the warmth, care, and hospitality that make every guest feel like they’re part of the family.

Together, we’ve built one of the most awarded restaurants in the Hudson Valley, celebrated for sustainability, transparency, and a wine list curated from first-hand experiences, not sales pitches.

At Aroma Thyme,
every ingredient has a name
every spirit has a story
and every dish is a chapter in something much bigger.
​
This isn’t just a restaurant.
It’s a revolution on a fork.
And we’re just getting started.
