Chazz Palminteri To Open A Restaurant in Baltimore

Filed under: Dining, Celebrity Design

chazz palminteriChazz Palminteri is famous for his New York style. Now the actor is bringing a taste of the Bronx to Baltimore for a new celebrity restaurant, a venture called Chazz: A Bronx Original.

The Baltimore Sun says that Palminteri's Charm City adventure began when he was in Baltimore's Little Italy in 2009 searching for some good Italian food while in town with his one-man show "A Bronx Tale." He discovered Aldo's, a popular local restaurant. He ordered the linguini with marinara sauce and liked it so much he came back the next 10 nights in a row.

Clearly impressed by the food, he made friends with the owners and found collaborators for a new restaurant. Chazz: A Bronx Original which is described as "a garlicky valentine to the Italian-American table" is set to open this spring in the Harbor East neighborhood. The 160-seat restaurant will have a coal-fired pizza oven and Palminteri says that he will be visiting the restaurant frequently to hang out with the locals. He told the Baltimore Sun he's been getting tips on life as a celebrity restaurateur from his longtime friend actor-turned-hotel-and-restaurant-owner Robert De Niro.

Filed under: Dining, Wine, Events


Who would have thought that the oldest Italian restaurant in the U.S. would be in San Francisco? Fior D'Italia first opened in 1886 and has a long history that even includes a year in a tent after the 1906 Great Fire. The restaurant holds a series of wine dinners the next of which is coming up on August 30 with Seghesio Family Vineyards. The evening includes a five-course Italian feast paired with Seghesio wines. Pete and Cathy Seghesio will be on hand to present the wines and the cost is $100 per person.
