Steven Swartz

Steven Swartz is a former hospitality professional turned full-time product reviewer based in Asheville, North Carolina. After nearly a decade managing a family-run Italian restaurant, he discovered his real passion lay in the tools and gear that make everyday life smoother—whether in the kitchen, the workshop, or outdoors. With a degree in Hospitality Management and a hands-on approach to testing, Steven brings practical insight and credibility to every review he writes.

In 2025, he founded osteriarusticana.com to share honest, experience-based reviews and buying advice with readers who want to make informed decisions. His philosophy is simple: real use, real opinions, no fluff. When he’s not testing products, Steven enjoys slow cooking, hiking with his dog Bruno, and experimenting with new home gadgets that balance function and design.
