Tasting & Talking with The Primadonna Restaurant

Come join us for an unforgettable evening at The Kitchen by Vangura! This in-person event promises a night of good food, great music, and even better company. Join Chef Pino in the Kitchen with Joe Costanza, legendary owner of the Primadonna Restaurant, along with author of On The Rocks Maria Costanzo Palmer.

We'll be cooking up menu favorites from Primadonna and telling stories with Joe, Maria, and the rest of the family. And we'll be talking about the new book On the Rocks: The Primadonna Story.

On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restauranteur Joseph Costanzo, Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant, radio host, entrepreneur, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal Pr*son.

Here's what we're cooking from the Primadonna menu:

• Fresh Fried Zucchini
• Chicken ala Pino (mushrooms, onions, sweet red roasted peppers, provolone)
• Fettucine Primavera in red sauce
• Cannoli
• BYOB

This class is a chef’s dinner, so we will do the cooking, you do the eating. Enjoy this up close and personal dinner with Chef Pino, Joe, and the whole family! Please let us know if you would like to be seated with guests under a different name.
