Chef Joe DiMaggio Jr. has joined Zanaro’s Italian Restaurant. DiMaggio has created a new menu and is redefining the entire experience at this popular White Plains restaurant.
As a child, Chef DiMaggio spent six months a year in Manhattan working at Grazio’s, his family’s restaurant, and the other half in Italy working at their hotel in Bologna under pre-eminent Chef Piero Carbonetti. The true inspiration behind Zanaro’s new menu and its exciting take on true peasant Italian cooking are the fresh ingredients and recipes colored by those age old favorites his grandmothers passed to him over time.
A 30-year veteran of the industry, Chef DiMaggio has conceived and built restaurants, hotels, casinos and more in every time zone across the globe. A rock star in his own right, he pals around with celebrities, rock stars and dignitaries – the common thread is their mutual love of food.
But the real magic is in the food – it’s about bold combinations like the subtle taste of mint in his eggplant appetizer served at room temperature or a pizza topped with lamb accented with Mediterranean curry. It is about flavor drawn out of the freshest available ingredients, like in his signature Exploding Garlic.
“It is an honor to welcome Chef Joe DiMaggio Jr. to Zanaro’s,” expressed owner Zane Tankel. “His incredible talents will first amaze the community of White Plains and then entice people from all over to taste his culinary excellence,” Tankel added.
Zanaro’s is located in the landmark Home Savings Bank Building on the corner of Mamaroneck and Main Streets at City Center in White Plains. Designed to replicate the Italian Countryside, Zanaro’s walls are adorned with murals, which create a warm friendly casual atmosphere. Dramatic 40 ft ceilings can still be found in this historic building. The original bank vault is used for private parties. The Vault Room seats up to 14 for an intimate private gathering.
