CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio \u2014 Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift finally visited the Kansas City Chiefs tight end\u2019s hometown and made a stop for lunch at JoJo\u2019s Bar.<\/a><\/p>\n

Michael Dei Maggi, the corporate chef and culinary director for NCR Ventures, which owns JoJo\u2019s, confirmed to cleveland.com that the A-list couple dined in with a third guest on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were lucky enough to have a special visitor today at JoJo\u2019s,\u201d Dei Maggi said. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge deal for us. We try to approach every single guest visit as if they\u2019re super VIP.\u201d <\/p>\n

Originally, the couple was interested in 17 River Grille<\/a>, another NCR restaurant in Chagrin Falls, but JoJo\u2019s, 87 West Street, was better able to accommodate privacy requirements. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the ability to create some really cool, sequestered spaces and high-security private spaces for those very rare occasions that you have rock and roll and football royalty in the restaurant,\u201d Dei Maggi added. <\/p>\n

Dei Maggi personally has experience serving celebrities and VIP guests when he previously worked on the West Coast. Plus, the crew at JoJo\u2019s is used to serving a wide variety of customers, including VIP guests. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty comfortable with it and at the end of the day, it\u2019s really special to be able to create a place where they can kind of get lost in the magic of Chagrin Falls a little bit too,\u201d he said. \u201cThat should be accessible to everybody, even those that require a little additional privacy.\u201d <\/p>\n

Kelce was in town on Monday for the Alex\u2019s Way Charity Golf Tournament presented by Patrick Bacon and Forest City Insurance, according to the Kelce Brothers Instagram<\/a> page. <\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s visit to Cleveland<\/a> had been long-awaited, since Kelce is a proud Cleveland Heights native. There was speculation she\u2019d visit Cleveland last year<\/a> when the Chiefs played the Browns, but she didn\u2019t appear.<\/p>\n

Dei Maggi said he believed the couple had a \u201cwonderful experience\u201d and that JoJo\u2019s looks forward to future visits. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re dining at the best restaurants that the world has to offer, it\u2019s cool to think that Chagrin Falls can accommodate and hopefully, compete at a similar level or provide a great level of hometown hospitality,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
