The City of Elmira proclaimed June 9, 2022, as Vito Manzari Day in Elmira, New York, in Memoriam of Vito and in Celebration of the legacy of Manzari's Restaurant.
Many of you may know Manzari's, famous for its singular spaghetti entree, and now you can enjoy their specialty in the recently finished fine art gallery, in the restaurant's dining room, featuring several regional artists you surely will recognize.
For some time, Vito and his son John had been talking about Manzari's, the community and sponsoring a mural. Last spring, the Manzaris initiated a partnership with Community Arts of Elmira's Elmira Infinite Canvas, and with City of Elmira Second District Councilperson Brent Stermer.
We are honored to continue that vision with John Manzari, the Manzari family, and Artist Tori Burdick of Tori Burdick Artwork . . . please stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
Again, we offer our condolences to the Manzari family and thank them for their community connection.
