Meet The Team
Michael Scivoli
Editor-In-Chief
Though his chief ambition is to get on his staff’s nerves, Michael spends his time running New Jersey Digest. A longtime Montclair resident, Michael joined the publication shortly after graduating from MSU back in 2013. He specializes in creative direction, editing, storytelling (and advanced diner hopping). Michael spends his spare time eating his way through New Jersey, hiking, writing fiction, traveling the world and stealing cuttings from his friend’s plants.
Peter Candia
Food + Drink Editor
Peter is New Jersey Digest’s Food + Drink Editor. He first joined the publication as an intern in late 2019. A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Peter focuses primarily on food and beverage. A veteran of the restaurant industry, with an affinity for all things New Jersey, Peter’s vision is to highlight the great food that can be found right here in our home state. He hopes to one day put New Jersey on the map as a culinary landmark. Politics, film, and cheap beer are some of the other interests that keep him going every day.
